Hello all,

I have been building a BD-6 for the last 5 years and finally it has flown. It is the first customer built plane flying. The BD-6 is a single place BD-4 designed by Jim Bede. in test flying we have found that it drops the left wing a lot! It took two hands to hold it level. We have added a trim tab to the aileron, rigged the left flap down and are now trying to put trim on the wing tip.
I am looking for ideas to try to lift the wing, short of changing the AOA of the wing.

Could use some help

Tony
