Well, I've come to the inevitable conclusion that I need a trim tab on my rudder. I was really trying to avoid this as I recently built a new rudder for the plane (long story) and it looks great. Trim tabs are ugly, and I don't want to rivet one onto my pretty rudder. I've tried rigging up an adjustable bungee system that pulls on the rudder pedal, and it somewhat works, but not great and must be adjusted as speed/power changes. So, I got to thinking....
Has anybody tried messing with the fiberglass bottom cap? I was thinking of molding a trim tab down there as it will be less conspicuous. I figure I can temporarily rivet an aluminum tab on there until I find the right size, and then mold that shape into the cap. Just curious if this has been tried yet.
Thanks,
Dennis
