Do you have any kind of seal on the nose wheel steering actuator slots? You could be getting some smell coming in through there.

Klaus:
Let's clarify a definition:
When you are talking TRIM... Are you talking FIXED TRIM or
Adjustable Trim while Flying?
Since these are simple planes I am thinking FIXED TRIM TABS.
If you are talking in-flight adjustable trim then the whole purpose of this thread is moot.
Since Jerry can just trim out the heavy wing.
If you are talking FIXED TRIM TABS then...
From what you are saying is adjust for glide.
But what happens to the trim at cruse/S&L?
So what is the next step - Adjust it half way between Glide and Cruse?
Then that way you are OFF/OUT OF TRIM in both conditions!
Welcome to the world of sloppy flying in either condition.
You would not be trimed for Glide or Cruse.
And talk about workload.
Try making a crosswind landing in 20 Kts 90 degrees to the runway when a wing wants to drop.
Especially when it is the downwind wing.
[From your post] So you are descending from 12500 to 6000 That is ONLY 5500 to the ground which should take you 11 minutes. You are saying that you would trim your FIXED TABS for a flight of 11 Minutes Vs the 1:30 Hr flight to get there.... Where is your workload reduction?
There is NO reason to try to trim a plane for GLIDE. YES - You better trim a GLIDER for glide.
Other areas have to be addressed on Jerry's plane. And I'm sure he will, as he wants a hands off flying abilities.

===============================
[quote] Well, looking at the behavior with a balanced load and during
a glide when there is no engine torque
tells whether the wings have the same incidence, which in my
opinion should be settled first. Also, if the aileron trim is
adjustable, as it is apparently in Jerry's case and also in my
plane, then retrimming for power-off glide, during long descents,
lightens the workload. I do it every time when I cross the Sandia
Mountains at 12,500ft from the east and descend to the Albuquerque
airport which is at around 6,000 ft.
Happy flying,
Klaus
