Tony...

It is not adjustable in flight...It took two or three flights to get it 
right...I made new brackets and slotted the front hole so I could move the 
tab up and down in the front...The difference between the trim tab and the 
sparrow strainer is the drag that they induce...A trim tab creates a little 
more drag... Not that we could measure it...Also, the sparrow strainer is 
slightly more efficient, since it is in cleaner air behind the elevator...



Best... Steve
