I have about 15 hrs on my RV-10 so far and I am having a blast. However my right calf muscle is getting worn out. What have RV-10 pilots been using for the rudder trim? I am looking at the TT Yaw Damper and would like to know if anyone has it installed and working? I am also looking at cheaper suggestion, like the piece of wood that Van used on the prototype.
<![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
For those that have asked…details are below.
611TT is equipped as follows, new TMX IO540 with one lightspeed, Hartzell 2 blade
2 GRT EFISs with EIS 6000, GNS480, GTX 330, GMA 340, TT RV-10 AP, Dash mounted Garmin 396, Vans Airspeed, Alt and compass.
Preliminary numbers 170K TAS at 11.5K, 21/21, 9.5, ROP, still have a lot of tweaking and adjusting to go so stay tuned…also I have very light plane at the this point with no paint and interior, empty weight 1460lbs, flying at about 2000lb.

Since you're not painted yet, I'd recommend a rudder trim system.
Lots of options there on how to do it. Until then, a wooden block
would work good. 245 hours on my wooden block so far. Much better
than nothing.

Van continues to use the Wedge of Wood on the most recent build that He and his brother Jerry just completed.

After 16 hours to Baja and back my right calf was killing me. I purchased
the rudder trim block sold by Aircraft Spruce and installed it with double
sided tape used to install molding on autos. Works great - no more leg
cramps.
I agree with Tim if N410MR had not been painted I would have gone with the
electric trim system I've seen on the list.

The one sold by Aircraft Spruce placed half way up from the horizontal stab
works great for me.

It will vary from builder to builder. I'd guess mine is about 6" long.
(no jokes!) It's just a wooden slat, about 1/4" or 5/16" thick, cut
into a wedge by sanding it half way diagonally. It's on the left
side, just above the tail light a little ways. I have mine taped
on with semi-clear UHMW tape I had left over from doing the
flap/aileron protection from wing skin. Initially I taped it on with
aluminum tape until I got it sized right to center the ball. Then, I
painted the wedge to match and used that semi-clear tape so it blends
in well.

Mark, I have a 4” long piece of tapered wood painted white and installed with clear tape. I started with an 8” piece and cut it down to this current size. I think the size is correct for my plane and I need to make it permanent but I don’t want to be in a hurry. Randy
