    Default Right foot always on the pedal

    I have a KF 3 w/ 4 wings 912ul. Bought it and brought it down from Alaska and over the last year converted from floats to wheels for use in the desert. Got it flying and all seems to be working well. My only problem I seen to have to ride the right pedal at all times. Is there a little solid mount trim tab for the rudder to help with this problem?

    Doug, type in "rudder trim" into the search feature at the top of every page. I just did a quick look and found some good photos of rudder trim solutions other owners have used. Some are very simple and others more inovative but more work.

    Does it fly wings level?
    Have you done a stall series to see how the wing washout is?
    You might be able to clean up improper rigging rather than dirtying up the a/c with a trim tab.
