So as a final update I finally got to fly the plane after adding this 1/4 inch of upward right aileron adjustment on a calm day and it now flies a straight heading with no control pressure input and neutral trim tab settings. So thanks for the help and of course RTFM. The yoke is still slightly rotated to the right, in level flight, but no control pressure is required to maintain a heading, so at this point it is purely a slight yoke position adjustment which we can take on at some point in the future.

Does the plane go faster than before? Are you making book speed?

The plane has always been pretty much on book speed. I was trying to decide if it was slightly faster yesterday, possibly 3-5 mph. I will be taking it down to Mexico next week so lots of opportunity to observe cruise flight behavior. I will post if I see a distinct change.
