Ask the FAA...
You could I guess..

I have seen things like fixed trim tabs added to Cessna ailerons at some budget rental ops (worked for them too). They get added when the eccentric bolts in the wing will not provide enough adjustment for wings level flying. For DPE rides you probably would not hear a thing. If you took it to an Inspector for a check ride the plane will be red tagged and you don't finish your ride. That is more what I'm talking about in my earlier post. The kind of situation that is not necessarily unsafe but is not legal and will not fly at a FSDO check ride.

All of the hair splitting aside your advice is sound I was just commenting on the chance of success at 100 per hour
