    One thing to be aware of with the elevator trim tab is to make sure that you have thought carefully about the design, in particular the actuation of the tab. In the uk we have had a number of in incidents with control flutter when the actuation system has failed virtually always the aircraft has been uncontrollable and ended mKing a forced landing!

    It looks like a phantom set up, or a ultra light trim kit, challengers have a similar system too
