Simple to build during the process. Some have retrofitted theirs. We just guessed on size but it works very well. http://www.painttheweb.com/rv-10/rudderTrim.htm Robin -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of linn Walters Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2008 10:43 AM 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. Linn do not archive thomas sargent wrote: > > I am priming things.
