My 8 needed a tab on the rudder, as it requires a touch of right rudder in level cruise. I was considering various options when I came across this excellent idea in Danny King's RV8 at Oshkosh a few weeks ago.
I did some googling and couldn't find anything else like this, so I figured I'd post this here. Works great, and does not interfere with normal rudder operation no matter how tight I get it.

I don't feel any drag in the pedals though it does click and clank while taxiing.
