| Subject: | Rudder Trim and Rudder Counter-Balance |
Has anyone that has added rudder trim had to add any weight to the rudder counter
balance? I cut a tab into the rudder as some builders have done vs. adding
a hinge to the trailing edge. The weight difference is probably similar, except
for maybe a bit more epoxy work to seal up the rudder tab edges.
Not sure how tight the tolerance is on the counter weight and whether it's anything
to worry about.
Thanks in advance.

This is a simple and effective rudder trim tab (not my idea - stole it).
Trim the tab as needed to get the ball in the center in cruise. Hard to see
but the tab has a ~30 degree bend aft. No added rudder counter balance
weight.
I started out with the ball touching the left line. Now it is in the
center.
Do this only after you are double check that your gear leg fairing are not
the cause of your ball being out.
Carl

The finish documents give the tolerance for rudder and other control
surface balance.
