Be sure to post some pix of the final installation.  I may follow suit as
I'm having the same situation.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Once again duct tape rides to the rescue.
This tab is 4"x1 1/8"x.032 Al and with an 8º bend.
I didn't get around to scanning the ball for a bit but back up at 200kts
there was obvious improvement.
Ball centered with no help from my left foot. If I had white duct tape I'd
be tempted to 'set it and forget it' as my carpenter would say.
But I'll round the corners, polish, and try the silicone approach.
Scott's internal rudder trim is certainly more elegant, but I'm out of the
building and into the flying mode!
At least until I get back to my shop and my half built chopper starts to
wink at me.
