John,
  No specifics on size, but Orin told me that several ES builders have made
the tab larger.  In my case, I just extended the hinged surface all the way
to the edge of the cored area on the elevator skin.  I don't recall the
dimensions right now, but it just added some width to the tab.  It's still
flush with the rest of the trailing edge.
 I don't see a flutter problem with a bigger tab.  It's hinged on one edge
and is firmly attached to the trim servo on the other, so there's nowhere
for it to go.
