weird, I copied the link, but it doesn't show. the right page, go to the search at the top and put in trim tab, and it will come up. plastic and you can cut it to the size you need.

Thanks this is very helpful, balsa sounds like a good idea.

Hi
I have used a balsa wedge on the ailerons of my model aircraft and it works very well and looks neat. I varnished the balsa and stuck it on with epoxy adhesive
Then painted it white about 6" long 1/8"triangle

That should be Jodel aircraft not model aircraft although it would work for models!

[Dusty]

Wedges verses triangles?would they perform the same and is there an ideal spot to mount them?

[Dave Holl]

I don't see any difference but I guess a wedge would look better? I mounted mine on the trailing edge of the surface.

You can get a very similar wedge shape from Home Depot in the wood moldings department. You can see that is what I used in post #5 under Brakes. However it wasn't enough, so I sandwiched a bendable aluminum tab under the 6" wedge and now it flies ball centered. Yes it may look like an afterthought, but after all it IS an afterthought. Paint it up nice and pretty soon you don't notice it, and it sure helps on long flights.

Just strap a 1x4 to the sole of your left shoe. Then your feet will be even!
