Re-sent to have correct subject.
Hmm, I'm getting close to starting said trim tabs. Any enlightenment
on how I can mis-re-read the plans so I can become a charter member of
this do-over until get it right club? (yes, I've already been through
the initiation ceremony).

Plans don't become crystal clear until we screw up because we believe what
we want to believe, we believe what we think to be true and not necessarily
what is.
It happens with more than following aircraft plans.

I made three trim tabs, the first was awful and I ordered another skin, the second was OK and the third try as they say was the charm. If I were to build them again I would build a mini rib for the ends and screw bending them. I think the real key to a good bend is making your blocks out of a good piece of hardwood and clamping them very tight so there is no way they can slip. After doing all the fiberglass stuff a composite rib for the end would be a piece of cake.

You might try bending them as closely as possible and then making them perfect with a dab or swipe of superfil and a little sanding/shaping.
