Can someone share a flight test routine and checklist for validating that my airplane is rigged correctly? I don't see this in the maintenance manual. There are multiple threads here on how to measure the ailerons on the ground, but I see nothing on proper flight testing.

My Archer seems to fly fairly straight and achieve book speeds, but I do notice that at cruise speeds the left wing can slowly get heavy/drop at times with the ball centered. At lower speeds/power settings the airplane seems to not get the heavy left wing. It could be me sitting on the left side and not testing correctly.

Can your cherokee be trimmed for cruise speed wings level for a long time on a calm day with no input?
