Aircraft rigging

Need some help for rigging the Rebel....



My left aileron needs to be 1" low and right aileron needs to be 1" high in order to level the wings (left wing heavy). The rudder trim is offset to the right, which would push the rudder to the left a little bit in order to fly straight.



Any Rebel/Elite pilot has similar issues can share your wisdom with me?



I'm not the builder, I went through the installation manual, didn't see it anywhere mention "aircraft rigging", where are the documentation?



Jay

Any Murphy builder out there has answers for rigging the Rebel?



My left wing is heavy when flying solo, I'm 150lbs, both fuel tank equal, with lycoming engine O-320 160hp.



In order to keep the wings level, I had to trim the Aileron so left aileron is 1" down and right aileron 1" up, and a little bit of left rudder to keep the nose straight (ball in the center), where could be the problem?



If I neutralize everything and start from fresh un-rigged condition, do I trim the rudder first or Aileron first?
