I decided to try building the trim wing from 0.032" aluminum sheet. This is the fastest build for a rudder/trim wing. It only took 2 hours to cut, shape, and rivet it together. It is slightly heavier than foam, but it is easy to build.

Worked on the rudder/trim wing control stick. It needs to have movement in 2 directions, front and back to control the trim, and side to side to control the rudders. The torque tube is attached to the control stick and runs along the top of the seat tunnel. At the end of the tunnel it will attach to a cable that will run to the rudders. The trim wing will be connected to the bottom of the control stick using a marine push-pull cable.
