Hello. I suspect my flaps (mono) are slightly miss-rigged in the flaps up position. When flying in the cruise I need just a tad of right stick. When I did a flap and undercarriage retraction in the hangar this morning the right flap looked slightly lower by eyeball… which might explain the need for right roll input. I will check properly with an inclinometer, but is this something that can be easily adjusted? Many thanks.

When flying solo? That would be normal. The passenger balances out a properly rigged plane fwiw.

Cheers,

The asymmetry of the flap operating (cross) tube means that the flaps will be asymmetrical. Unless they are configured to come up hard against some flap stops (in which case a degree or so of range is then sacrificed).
