Bent Rudder Trailing Edge

[markejackson02]

Weird.  The bottom trailing edge of the rudder has a pronounced bend to it.  The portion above that round trailing edge attachement is straight.  Below that attachement, there is about a 5-10 degree bend in the trailing edge, to the point that the little fold in the skin can no longer be distinguished.  If I take my hand off the wheel in flight, there is a pronounced right roll.  It isn't in one place but is consistent down the length of the rudder to the adjustment tab.

It doesn't appear to be hangar rash, it is consistent down the rudder and the light would have it the wall first.

I assume that bending the entire trailing edge is not the approved rudder adjustment technique given the adjustable tab.

Should I make a brake from som 2x6's and straighten it?

Rudder yaw compensation is done at the aileron spring link with the rudder link. This adjustment is located underneath the pilot seat floor. The roll tendency could also be related to flaps slightly out of rig. The rudder edge should be straight all across. It is possible that who ever bended the rudder wanted to compensate for engine torque yaw during climb. The problem is that unless you have one of the long body models there is no pilot adjustable rudder trim. The rudder spring link is normally adjusted for center ball for 130kts indicated for optimum speed and efficiency. During climb the pilot normally push the right pedal to keep the ball centered.
