Doug,
I guess you need to decide, do I correct an out of trim ball using the 
normal" method of shimming the correct rudder "out", or run with one 
heel pant? ;-)

> I did a test to see if my wheel pants were reducing drag. My ball is not
 exactly centered. It's between the lines, but the ball is closer to one
 line than the other. So I took one wheel pant off to see if it would
 center the ball. It did.
