Thanks for the input Steve. I hadn't thought about the centering notch, or that
I like the idea at all. All of my time has been in Cessna's. Our typical mission
was long cross country, so the AP took care of keeping a heading, I would
trim to the rudder to the ball.
The Cessna system is quite different from the Zenith. Yaw trim put tension on the
rudder through the bungee.
At this point, If I were to make a choice, I would opt to leave out the notch.
Not having experienced this set-up first hand, I am speculating, but it sounds
like it would annoy me.

The force to "override" the notch is not much and I doubt you could detect it in
flight. It does however have enough force to be able to trim out the rudder
in cruise flight. With the all flying rudder, I would think that the plane would
be pretty squirrelly in yaw without the centering notch. I would think hard
about it before taking it out.
