I've had a left yaw in the amount of one ball width but have now corrected it. For those of you that might also encounter this problem and want to know how much of a trim tab it takes to correct this much yaw, the answer is a wedge 12 inches long, 1/4 inch high at the trailing edge, and 1 1/2 inches to it's 0 height knife edged leading edge. I placed it half way up the rudder. For now this has just been duct taped in place.

I thought I had this problem too at one time. I realigned my landing leg
fairings just a wee bit and the need for the rudder tab went away. I had it
a little out of being exactly correct to start with. Your mileage may vary.
