Default Aileron "tuning" or "trimming"

Hi all,

I have a PW-5 that requires side pressure on the stick at all times to correct a tendency to bank to the right. More pronounced at higher speeds, of course. Wing tape helps a little but doesn't eliminate it. But there is a visible tiny difference in aileron position from one side to the other when the stick is neutral.

Planning to pull out the manual and figure out how to make length adjustments to the control rods, but is there any counterintuitive thing I should know before attempting to fine-tune?

Cheers,
Chris
