At last, I finally got the engine rebuilt, and back into the airplane. The
good news, the engine runs, and it runs good! (see details below). The bad
news, I did not get a chance to fly yet due to my Rectifier/Regulator
failing (always something), therefore my alternator circuit break kept
poppin
Hi Guys.
I too had this style trim tab on my aileron. The way I mounted mine was with 3M
double sided tape and I put over 500 hours flight time on it and it never
loosened up. Mounting it this way is just another way to reduce a little drag.

It looks like I got very lucky in the building process because 236MS flies
wings level. I wish I could say that about the up and down but the internal

As a follow up to my method of mounting And adjusting my trim tab:
The double sided 3M tape I used is their 444 tape. To adjust the angle of my
trim tab, it could simply be removed by using dental floss under the edge of
the tab and floss it right off the aileron. However, I didn’t remove mine
Larry, and Mike, My original (short) KR-2 always needed forward stick
input above 155 mph indicated. My cockpit adjustable ,elevator trim
tab did not have enough authority above 155. It would however hold
altitude up to and including 155. Al Campbell told me he also had to
hold the nose down simila
Keep in mind that I am still a 'wanna be', but it seems to me that if one
were to take some 1" X 3 or 4" boards of the appropriate length, placed top

If I recall correctly, this photo is the trim tab setting I need for
level flight at about 150 mph indicated, standard tail surfaces, 24 inch
