Jim,
I have an electric trim tab on the left aileron. With the benefit of
hindsight it would have been better being a little longer. It is currently
only 6 inches long. However, I found that a flettner strip on the top
surface of the trim tab worked really well, making the tab quite effective.
regards,
Mike Parkin G-JULZ
