Jabiru 3300A Oil Pressure sender failure

I have had another oil pressure sender failure. Thats 2 in 25 hours flying. Failure mode as follows;

works fine then you get the ocasional spiking high oil pressure indication of 70 - 100 PSI. This gradually becomes more regular until it stays on 100 PSI. For ground running tests I have connected a direct reading gauge to the oil galery to confirm a normal 40 PSI oil reessure.

Has anyone else experienced similar failures?

Fixing a heavy left wing trim.

Hi group. Has anyone successfully fixed a heavy left wing problem?

 After my first test flight I needed almost full right aileron trim to get back to wings level.

I have tried adjusting the LH flap down 3mm but this had almost no effect!

I cannot measure any wing incidence differences between the wings.

There is almost no appreciable wing drop on stall.

Anyone have any suggestions?
