    Jim,

    Please re-read my post....The tread originator was talking about a right roll tendency...my example (with our plane) was correction for a left roll tendency........opposite deal

    The purpose of Washout (twist) is to decrease the angle of attack at the wing tip. I agree with jiott. It is correct to increase the angle of attack of the the tip of the heavy wing which will decrease the washout.

    Be sure to do some stall testing at altitude after changing the washout on a wing to see if it still stalls normal.

    And that, my friends, is why I should stay away from my computer when I have not had my coffee....
