I noticed that Geoff Combs has photos of him installing a rudder trim servo and tab on his aircraft. Has anyone else done this, or does anyone know of the manufacturer of a such a system?

Back to the spring idea. It works on the aileron so I don't see why it wouldn't on the rudder. If the springs are long and well-stretched, they work against eachother and the difference in force due to moving the controls is small. The trim recentres the datum and moves the control surface.
I think the secret is long springs rather than the strength.

N427EFHas anyone tried to use an electric motor to drive the Skunk works system?
Should not be too complicated, mine is on order and I will use an electric motor
to actuate that trim system.
Reading your post I might just use it for a red light, annunciating flatulenceto my passengers.
How's the rudder trim working out Mike? I see you up and flying now.
