I’ve been trying to squeeze the ailerons to get my Rv6 flying
Level for a long time. If I can’t get it correct I might put a trim tab on.
Is that acceptable? Are there a lot of people that have a small trim tab

Thanks

I have a small tab under one of my ailerons, as do others.

Did you use a regular aluminum trim tab that sticks out from
The aileron or kinda a wedge one that goes under the ailerons

Thanks

I used the plastic wedge. Works great.

I have a piece of model airplane aileron stock taped to the bottom of my right aileron with packaging at the moment.

Just a small wedge under the aileron. Not noticeable unless you purposely look under the wing. Just a sanded down piece of wood. The model airplane aileron would work well.

Tab

When you put a piece of wood how big of a piece do you start with
