Mike, I would suggest locating the trim tab and motor on the port wing. This
allows
for visual inspection of tab position during flight, thus eliminating the
need for position indicator gauge in the cockpit. Also I ran 20 AWG wire
instead
of 18 AWG as it is lighter and their is not a lot current. I also dispensed
with the cutoff switch on the panel. The plane is easily managed with full
aileron trim in either position thus if you encounter runaway trim it is no
big deal. Saves with the wiring, hardware, and weight. As I am at work at the
moment so I am unable to verify the tab dimensions although that seems to be
close to what I have. Closer inboard is preferable due to the increased
thickness
of the aileron (easier to install the motor). Well that's my two cents.
