Posted for "Bill Kennedy" <bill_kennedy_3@hotmail.com>:

I am adding rudder and aileron trim to my Lancair 320. I'd like to install 
integral tabs like the elevator, rather that the little card like devices that 
are fastened to the trailing edge of the flight control. I will be using the 
MAC (RAC) controllers.

Does anyone have size and position recommendations? I'd rather have the rudder 
trim low on the rudder than on the upper half. I envision the aileron trim 
being on the inboard edge. I'm thinking in terms of six inches wide by three 
or four deep with piano wire hinges.

Is there any reason to not do it this way?
