Heavy aileron feel?

Spook, for a quick check on a model 4 if you don't have the flaperon rigging blocks:
Take a grease pencil and mark the cord line of the flaperon on the metal inboard flaperon rib. Level the plane to flying attitude and the flaperon cord line should be level for neutral flaperon position. Be sure the stick is centered for neutral ailerons.

Note, for the earlier kitfoxes with the flat bottom flaperons, the bottom of the flaperon should be level.

Just an update to my initial post. I've learned to leave the flap handle alone and leave the flaperons at zero incidence. As the CG checked out fine, I went with lowering the horizontal stab leading edge to the bottom hole which eliminated the need for corrective negative flaperon trim. All is good with 627C. I've also finally learned to side slip almost to touch down and land on the mains and use brake to stop in a pleasingly short distance. Finally able to take off and land on my strip and put her to bed in my hangar. Now if I could just get it to be a bit more yaw stable it would be perfect!-)
