Default RE: servo/boost tabs

The tab counters the control force by ten to fourteen percent, or equal to the percentage of surface area the boost tab is of the control surface. So there is that loss...
This loss is actually reduced somewhat as the boost tab is below the trailing edge of the wing, granted not much.

They are a real good option if want to save some money and do not mind the time and work it takes to set them up.
