| Subject: | RV-6A rudder trim tab |
Linn,
To your point here is a trim tab used on our -10. Simple to
build during the process. Some have retrofitted theirs. We just guessed
on size but it works very well.

Subject: Re: RV-List: RV-6A rudder trim tab
Well, I can't really answer your question about the tab size. A fixed
trim tab will only be truly effective at one certain airspeed ..... and
is usually set for the cruising speed most used. I'm building a -10,
and am going through the 'trim tab' scenario as we speak. There's been
a few emails with pictures etc. on the -10 list about bungee (spring)
trim systems .... some folks are really creative. I don't like those
solutions, so I'm going to attach a hinged tab to the trailing edge of
the rudder and move the tab with a model airplane servo. I'm in the
process of creating the servo controller with a 555 timer in pulse width
modulation mode.
