Please may I ask what most have done regarding RV10 rudder trimming?
Our aeroplane has flown in balance, feet off in the cruise, since we bought it over 6 years ago. It has a semicircular rubber seal, protected by tape on the left side of the rudder trailing edge.
I would have presumed that would apply left rudder due to coanda effect?
After recent work on spats and ailerons, we now need a steady right pressure on the rudder to maintain balanced flight.
If I am correct about coanda, should we remove the existing rubber seal as a starting point?
What, if anything, have others done?
I don’t want to fit an adjustable rudder trimmer, it is no inconvenience to apply some right pressure during the climb.
