I'm building an early 320 Fastbuild - small tail.

Questions about the Elevator and Horizontal Stab.

1 - Plan to use an elevator trim tab and small RAC servo. What dimensions should I make the trim tab? I know there are easier ways, but I am intrigued by the TruTrack auto pitch trim.

2 - Should the elevator trailing edge have a flat surface - similar to the ailerons? 1/4 inch like the ailerons?

3 - Plans call for the counter balance ends to be 2 inches wide. Is this correct and adequate? Seems that they could be made 1/4 to 1/2 inch wider.

4 - My construction manual states the correct horizontal stabilizer incidence is -1/2 to -1.0 degree. Is this still the proper range? If I could build with 100% accuracy, which would be best -1/2 or -1.0?

I did search the archives but did not come to any conclusions - thus the questions.

Looking forward to feedback and suggestions.
