Lowell's tab appears to be just a bit bigger which is a good idea. The UK setup

I have to disagree there, a long cable run from to the panel to the tail is way
harder to install and maintain in good mechanical condition than a simple switch
and wires running back to an electric servo. The electric servo by the Ray
Allen company that I think Lowell is using is a very good, reliable piece of
equipment that has been around for years.
They also sell a stick grip with buttons on it so you don't have to reach to the
panel to trim. The same stick has yaw buttons and with another servo can be
used for rudder trim as well. This system is way better than any mechanical
trim with cables would be.
