I think I may have a pretty good idea as to a contributing factor on my 
plane, if not the total culprit.  Checking the ailerons last night I noticed 
that on the left one I had the cusp that accurately follows the airfoil, but 
on the right one, I straightened out the cusp.  I build those ailerons a 
year or so apart, and somewhere between building the first one and the 
second one I decided to delete the cusp in favor of reducing the aileron 
control system's loading.  Only problem is I forgot to go back and fill in 
the pilot's side!  Good thing my ailerons are easily removed...
