Brief Description:Answer: Yes to rudder trim, no to static wicks!


Rudder trim and static wick decions

After research and a phone call to Vans decided against static wicks. For the time to install them and the approximate expense of $864 the value they might bring does not warrant the effort. Stumbled onto Vic Syracuse rudder trim using a piece of hinge, a Ray Allen servo, and a douber and access plate available from Van’s as VA-195C and VA-195D. Looks like a very simple setup. Wires will already be run to the rudder for the lights so it may not be a whole lot of extra work to run the additional wire to the servo.

Tim O has a great writeup
