In-flight adjustable trim tabs fine tune the tendency of the plane to climb or descend based on fuel load, aircraft loading, and other weight variables. This is mostly up and down, but many planes also have left and right turn trim tabs. Some people don't even have them, but it's a pain to fly a plane without it, as it's almost never happy at straight and level.....it's usually trying to climb or descend. It's not a big deal to add it, as you've seen by the web pages, but you do need to run a small cable back to the elevator, provide power, find a place for an indicator (unless it's manual and has a visible handle), that kind of easy stuff.
