nong Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 A. Spring tab Spring length changes more at high speed due to increasing aerodynamic load. Useful for limiting structural loads at higher speeds by moderating the effects of overzealous pilot input. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben87r Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Any examples nong? Not knowing the answer I went with servo, my thinking was never hearing of spring tab that it sounded too good to be true and thought at the time that a servo tab could be more effective with speed. Think it's funny that vie not been able to get any of the instructors to answer it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpacro Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 You don't see many spring tabs these days. From memory the Canberra had them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
