Servo Tabs are a clever invention that allow for greater control surface deflection with less force applied. The direction of deflection is actually reversed! The servo tabs induce a torque onto primary control surfaces, while the primary control surfaces apply their torque onto the fusalage. Enter the camera 1 view to see the servo tab acting on the elevator.
