Offsetting the VS on RV6

I have fitted a new HS on my RV6 and ready to drill the holes for the VS in the HS forward spar, my question is has anyone put a 5/32 offset installing the VS the same as you do on the RV7. My plane did require right rudder in the cruise to centre the ball before I glued a 8" wedge on the LHS of the rudder to balance the ball.

The VS on the first 6 I built was offset by 1/2” and it still required a wedge to center the ball. The next two a 6A and another 6 were built straight and the wedges were about the same size? Easier for me to build it straight and use a wedge. Just one opinion. Enjoy the build.

I replaced the original tail on my RV6.
Obviously used the new 7 tail with a 8 rudder.
With the old VS I needed a wedge on the rudder.
I installed the new VS straight with 8 rudder and .......no need for a wedge.
It surprised me.....but I like it.
10 knots faster too...

There is an old thread dated 2-16-2012 that has an extensive discussion of this issue. (Can someone please tell me how to include a link to a thread or individual post?). Thanks gasman

Perhaps you can find it by the date, it is in the general section.
