Aileron cable problems

Static. Sitting on ground.

In flight might have a difference (rigging of plane, controls......)

Fly in cold and apply aileron. Observe both aileron cables adjacent to the lift struts. One can be looser than the other. I assume the ailerons offer different resistance to deflection.

Edit: Deflect the stick left or right and hold. Push the down aileron's trailing edge up and note the cable running from it back down the strut to the stick. It can be a temporary condition in flight if cable tensions later equalize.
