Electric Rudder trim question

[murphmoose]

For those of you flying with the electric trim tab mounted in the rudder.....I am just curious if you did any sort of additional counterweight up front on the rudder fairing in order to counterbalance the added weight in the back.

I know it's not much weight as the whole installation probably adds about 8 oz or so, and most of it is the servo very near the hinge line. But, I ended up with about 4 or 5 oz of additional weight up in the front of the rudder fairing, and wondering if anyone else did the same, or just installed and flew.

Thanks

No extra weight for me.

After paint, that may change...................

No weight for me either, even after paint. Works very well and I am glad I installed it. It is amazing how much you use it. I trim the ball in the climb, trim once in cruise and trim in the descent everytime on XC flights. Feet stay comfortably on the floor
