Thanks Paul! Makes sense now, could you clarify though from your understanding:

'Anti Balance' do you mean that this small surface is operating in a similar mode to what is referred to as an 'anti servo tab' on an all moving tail surface eg PA28? i.e. works in oposition to the main control surface displacement, opposing the aerodynamic balance area fwd of the hinge? Or is it a 'Servo Tab' assisting the displacement of the rudder positively?
