Paul,
I did what I think is the cleanest installation...

Attach a 'screen door' spring from the rudder pedal to the firewall, on the
pedal that needs a little push. I made up 2 springs about 6" long and
attached them both to my right pedal on the passenger side. You can also
adjust tension by shortening the spring, or drilling another hole. Fly it
until you get the right combo for ball centered. Practically invisible. Same
principle as Van's aileron trim.

Subject: Rudder Trim Tab Material?

Hey all...looking for some bright ideas on a trim tab. I made one out of
wood.
A wedge shape. Taped on the rudder and nailed the size and location...pure
luck. Anyway, what have others seen that would look very clean and work
well?
How did you fasten it? I was thinking of a solid piece of machined
alluminum,
but not sure how to mount it on the skin.
