Anyone know of another source of plastic rudder trim tabs like Avery sells? The website shows out of stock and no response back yet on availability. I know you can make these out of balsa, but would prefer something more weather resistant.

They had them at Oshkosh on sale for (I think) $10.00.

Really pretty easy to make out of AL with some snips and sheet metal pliers or a break. The ones from Avery are adjusted by cutting to length, and I like being able to adjust them and rivet when they are right. I made one the length of two squares on the rudder checkerboard so they blended in. Pretty easy job.

I test flew a wood wedge; trimmed it until it was right; then made a duplicate out of foam and fiberglass.
