trim tabs position

[RunningBeer]

Hi everyone, I have been searching the threads here for a definitive answer regarding trim tab placement off the bottom corner of the hull ( not from the keel but up from the bottom). The best answer I can find is 1/32" (0.8mm@). I would be grateful if some of you build masters could chime in here with your views. Many thanks R.Beer.

Up 1/32" is okay, I usually aim for 1/16". The important thing is up off the bottom of the hull to reduce drag when the tabs are set up or parallel to the bottom...

...Thanks Fluid,I'll go for your recommendation.

Hey Fluid if you're still out there, I have an ancillary question. I'm making some custom tabs 30mm wide, how long do you think they should be? They're going on a 35" DF Pirate. Thanks R.B.
