Line Up and Wait
First, how much does it typically cost to re-rig a Cherokee, roughly?
Second, how do you know (in varying degrees) when you need it?
I'm pretty sure I do... I don't get quite as much speed as others with the same plane report, though only by a few knots, but still. Bigger clue---in smooth air when trimmed out for hands-off flying as close as I can get (which is really pretty close), the ball is not quite centered. If I adjust rudder trim until it is centered, the plane wants to roll slowly. More generally, it's pretty hard for me to find a rudder trim spot where it really "feels" right... obviously that's really subjective and could very well just be me, but it's still a thing.
Thanks!
