The "differential aileron" travel , as used on the KR, places additional
drag on the "down" wing in the turn, eliminating most of the adverse
yaw problem and eliminating the need for co-ordinated rudder
in the turn.  Next time you fly a spam can, roll into a turn without
rudder and note that the nose does a momentary swing in the
opposite direction and that you need rudder input to overcome
this adverse yaw and center the ball.

On the vertical stabilizer,  mine is built with zero offset, as I believe
the plans call for,  and my 0-200 is set for zero offset.  My KR
requires no rudder trim tab for level cruise flight and tracks
a straight line course with my feet on the floor.

As always,  your results may vary.  :-)
