Default Will this cause a problem?

You can see in the pic that the rudder is bowed/arched just a bit. Other than having to adjust the trim for it and causing a bit of drag, will it cause any major problems?

I have a Yak with a rudder trailing edge with multiple bows. I tried getting them out by pulling and re-shrinking the covering nut finally gave up. It's not perfect but flies fine.

Patience, patience.

I just completed the wing tonight, my first ever flap and retract set up. The door setup isn't the greatest on this thing, the wing is curved and the doors are flat.[>:]

Looks like about 2 clicks of right rudder trim and you would be good to go. Good luck!
