The builder's manual recommendation is too small. Also it helps to keep your wings balanced to within 10 gallons for trim reasons. Many aircraft have lateral fuel imbalance limitations for this reason--the Cirrus SR 22 is one.

Can anyone give me some information on the size of their aileron trim tab. I 
used an 8 inch long piece of hinge. It seems like I need a little more mass, as 
fuel burns off on one side I do not have enough trim left. Its pretty effective 
most of the time. I installed per book for the LIV. Help!Brad
