necessary to have a rudder trim tab?  If so, what did you use? >>

 Erich,
  yes, i put a piece of thin sheet stainless steel about 5x2 inches, with 
some holes drilled down the middle to assist the bend.Floxed on, painted 
white. Applies a bit of left rudder. 
  'UM is set up for solo flying at 112kt ias (fixed warp drive, 80hp rotax), 
depending on passenger size it can make a big difference to trim at different 
speeds.
