Rudder trim:
A neat trick I learned from Graham Loucks in the UK, was to attach a 1/4 inch diameter bungy cord to the rudder pedal.
I use a sailboat "line lock" to grip and hold the cord in position . The two cams just lock it in position. I can set my trim infinitely
It requires a small pully on the firewall in front of the rudder pedal and I attached the "line lock" to the bottom edge of my instrument panel. Need more rudder? Pull the bungy tighter. Need less? Pop it out of the lock and back in and retighten it.
It is very simple and effective.

Cool Floyd! Thanks for sharing.
I don't need this right now, but it is going into my "keeper" file.
