This is how my pitch trim worked out, 42.5 sq inches. Made entry on bottom of elevator with servo connected to top. Less chance of water getting inside of elevator. On taxi runs about 20 to 30 kts the trim was operational in all position and would hold the stick without any help from pilot.Tab size may be too large, however I will be able to set the limit of travel or install a smaller trim tab. Since I am using piano hinge for the tab it will only take a few minutes to change. I am thinking this size (42.5 square inches) may help keep up with the flaps since the travel time on the Ray Allen servo is much slower. Waiting to get my seatbelts back from the shop for modifications before I can fly. Taxi test are fine, it wants to fly. Johnny
