but then, why not go for the Navaid-Servo ? It is strong enuff to
move the entire aileron and it reacts much faster than a spindle-motor
motor affecting only a small tab.
Don't get me wrong. I understand the fun-factor fully (it gives me
a childish joy to see the stick being moved by ghostly hands while
in flight). I am convinced however, that the Navaid serves better
as the reaction time in wing-level mode is better than human reaction.

The aileron trim tab saga:
I think the question was: Why have one?
My reason is to use the datastream from GPS to control the trim
motor
to provide a banking signal to keep the aircraft on track to the next
GPS checkpoint, not especially for trim. Who knows, Maybe both......
That is, laziness....... and fun.
Happy landings
