Bill,
 
I'm a novice at this building thing, so excuse my ignorance. 
 
Does the binding occur during pressurization?  If so, maybe the aileron bellows might need repositioning (maybe stretching?)
 
Regards,

Gerry:

Just completed first 25 hours with a IV-P .  Elevators no problem but I was surprised at force required for ailerons.  Low speed landings and takeoffs no problem.  Higher speed requires excess force.  Like flying a T-33 without aileron boost.  Autopilot (Sytec 55) doesnt seem to be affected. 
Have checked aileron travel (+20, -14) - no problem.  Controls are free, no binding.  Running out of ideas.
Please keep me in the loop.  Like to know how to resolve this problem. 
Regards, Bill Hogarty
