Thanks for mentioning that, Dave.  I am installing a Navaid A/P, but
it would appear to be wise to add an electric servo to an aileron,
before I soon finish-paint.  Does anybody know how small a tab will
still do the job? Especially since I might prefer a R/C model type
servo, rather than a MAC.  I've had to take down the sign in the shop
that said, "A few ounces here, a few ounces there, and...."
