I think you need a little-bit more right aileron...

Yea, all I use is the ball typically. Look at that little screw sitting in the bottom, looks like it’s a simple fix. I’m sending it to Century Instrument Corp., hoping they give me a cheap rate if it is a quick fix. It would be real cool to swap it with an RC Allen attitude indicator with Rate and Ball, but that’s $2500.
