I have a old article by Mike Leasure who ran his car down a runway to get actual Control-Surface loads for different surface areas at different angles. The thrust to deflect and hold position is in OZ. IN. Would you like me to scan them to you ? 10-30- and 60 SQ. IN. were done at up to 45 degrees.
cyclops,

Thanks but I don’t know how the data would be used.

I believe the loads are less with a boost tab and the concept is sound from an engineering perspective. But I cannot come up with a method to probe how much less.
