I have never noticed the need for a yaw damper, but it's very rare that my back
seats are occupied. My wife much prefers the heated seats, same here. Besides,
I'm a little more nose heavy that most, which would reduce the issue.
Nice to see that manufacturers are paying attention to the experimental market....

Being involved with the RV-10 for over 8 years now. I have never seen or
heard of anyone other than
Trutrak that ever had a yaw damper installed. This has been a discussion
many times at Oshkosh RV-10
Headquarters and other RV get together. I have yet to know anyone has that
installed one. The consensus was it was not a needed
Item at all and would be a waste of money. This was from most people that
had been flying their 10's for at least a year or more.
I would be interested to hear how many people actually have the Trutrak or
some other yaw damper installed in the RV-10.
Since Garmin just came out with theirs I would say only a few Garmin have
been installed in aircraft for testing.
Just Curious

I haven't heard of many either, but I'll add my comments I guess.
Personally, I would not spend the money and add the weight.
It's not something that you NEED on an RV-10, but,
I do notice in turbulence that it can wag it's tail.
I just use my feet then to keep it more stable.
But, if you have the one in a hundred wives who just can't
stand any waggle, then it is something you may be interested
in trying. So, while I would never justify it for myself,
and I would never recommend someone buy it BEFORE they fly
their RV-10 for a while, I can see that there may be the
occasional person who could benefit from it.
So, if you think you need it, after flying, go ahead.
If you're not flying yet, I'd say hold off and gather some
good experience first.
