Trim Tab

Any thoughts on what size of trim tab I should put on my Elite rudder.
It flies the ball about 1/2 to 1 ball to the right at cruise (which is
not surprising, given the design makes no attempt to compensate for
slipstream). I was wondering how effective the tab would be with that
squared off trailing edge.
