Wing twist, slightly off topic

[John Ferrell]

I would first verify lateral balance. Take care not to use the prop shaft as
the front pivot if the airplane has any right thrust built in.

Other than carrying a little trim, how does it fly? An airplane with a two
piece wing can use wing adjusters (Gator sells my favorite) but sorting out
trims is a whole lot less important than what the bird does with different
attitudes/control responses.
