"What should I do about rudder trim?" My current thought is to not install an electric trim servo. That would be handy for long, extended climbs but this is a 320 not a IV-P. The real questions whether or not I should build in a fixed tab on the rudder a la Cessna style for taking up any building misalignment. The problem with this is the ugliness of a tab hanging off the back of my nice clean Lancair. Heck, I may not even need it. However, adding one later could be even uglier. What is the experience out there? Did you install a trim tab and not need it? Did you not install one and wish you had? I'd love to learn from your experiences. Thanks!
