> I would just flox it in the trailing edge, and bend as necessary. The
question is: what
type and thickness of AL, and any suggestions as to required sizing.

If you do decide to go with the fixed trim, I suggest that you make the tab
in two pieces to avoid excessive, unintentional stress on your rudder when
you are making the bending adjustments.
Flox a good stiff piece in to your rudder (about .080 thick and 3 to 4
inches long) and let it stick out aft of you rudder about 1/4 inch. Make a
second bendable piece the same length by about 1 1/4 inch wide. Attach the
second piece to the first with 3 small screws (#2 or #4). Now, you can
remove the bendable piece from the airplane to bend it or replace it when
adjustments are made. No danger of cracking your rudder in the process.
