It might be easier to adjust your stick hand a little to the right.

But since this is the question of the day . . . If the left turning tendency
is caused by a slightly twisted wing or other rigging problem, and I assume
it is, then adjusting the left aileron down a bit will not help at all.
Instead both ailerons will now trail slightly down, the stick will be offset
to the left, and the same twisted wing will continue to cause a left turning
tendency.

Instead, you would have to put a trim tab (or stick on a trim wedge) to
raise the right aileron and lower the left. This assumes that the problem
isn't rudder related as evidenced by the yaw string or ball being centered
before this exercise. Any of these "fixes" might be used on a power plane,
but wouldn't correcting the out of rig problem be the proper, low-drag fix
for a glider?

My sailplane always turns to the left. Can I adjust the left aileron down
a bit
to make it fly straight?
