If you need constant adjustment then you have a more fundamental problem.
Rudder trim CAN be very useful for any jet showing slight roll out of trim which is different inverted or upright. After checking weight balance, a small RUDDER adjustment can often effect a cure.
Even Boeing recommends using (upright!) a small amount of rudder to correct slight roll trims to centralise the control wheel. As well as avoiding spoiler uplift it , apparently, is more efficient, or so they told me !
Please feel free to disagree, I really don't care. But for me it is and a central pot would be nice on the Core.
