Re: An adjustable rudder trim tab.

Why would you want to do this? If you adjust a small tab for cruise,
(assuming it's even needed) you'll never need to adjust it again. Sure,
you'll have to step on the rudder a bit during take-off and climb, but if
you set up for cruise, you'll never touch the rudder for 95% of your flying.
The two place Lancairs are definitely feet-on-the-floor airplanes during
almost all of the cruise phase. Adding an adjustable rudder tab is
tantamount to gilding the lily (in my humble opinion, justified by 500+
hours in a straight 235).
