I'm still wondering how big that plane is[>:]
or how those tabs work
Seemfly, the way the tabs work, is they are hinged, much the same that you would hinge a full control surface. You utilize a control horn on the tab, and affix one end of the pushrod to the control horn. The other end of the pushrod is fastened to the trailing edge of the wing/H-stab/Vstab. When the control surface is moved, it causes the boost tab to move in the opposite direction, driving the control surface harder.
