Hello John,
Here is a picture of my rudder trim tab. It is adjustable from the cockpit
and works well. I made this modification after flying the Fox for a couple
of years. If I had it to do over I would make it a little bigger.

Looks good Ron. Is that a stock tailwheel spring?

While on the subject, I noticed it was a single leaf spring. After
about 980 landings, my Kitfox 3 tail spring broke in a "normal"
landing. Thanks to the good help of Lowell, I have now a two leafs and
I feel much safer.
Cheers,
Michel

That's what I was going to ask, Deke...it looks like one of the "fat"
springs, like maybe aluminum? Not the color of course, but the shape.

Thanks Ron, you just have a wheel in the cockpit?

The trim is controlled by a small lever below and in front of the seat
against the left side. Pull up for left trim, push down for right.
The tailspring is fiberglass. Herb Gottelt gave it to me when my first steel
one broke about ten years ago. It is great! I do not know if it is still
around the market though.
