Hi tubby,

When the aircraft are brand new, and after hydraulic pressure has decayed, the ailerons remain in their neutral position for a considerable time. With age, the leak rate past the various valves in the hydraulic flight control system increases, and the aileron(s) will droop over time. It's perfectly normal.
