Thanks Dennis F. and everyone for the response and info about servo tabs. I now understand their function. Mine are up elevator up nose with 9 degrees of tab deflection and down elevator down nose 20 degrees of tab deflection. Someone commented that to increase deflection the trailing end of the linkage rod could be raised on the tab. My linkage rod is already just contacting the horizontal stabilizer rear spar. I would have to extend the lever down at the front of the linkage rod to be able to raise the rear of the rod on the tab's tab, or bend the linkage rod which I don't want to do.
My question is, are my existing tab deflections up and down sufficient. I know that flying the plane is the way to tell. But, I am sure there is enough experience on this site to give me an educated guess.
