It's meant to be like that! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Unfortunately, I cannot find any way to eliminate the offset.

Cheers...Keith

Ball out to the right...

Greetings Keith,
Most of the RV-12s seem to have the ball half out to the right initially. The Avery wedge seems to work. This is a plastic wedge sold by Avery that attaches with double back tape and can be painted to match.

One of the wedges is installed here on the trailing edge of the rudder. My plane actually required two of the wedges to center the ball.

Congrats, Hal

Hal is a southern gentleman and friend I met because of our RV-12 builds, I have been to visit his project many times now and I always enjoy his company and learn something.
