Bf109G14: Do we have the Flettner tabs for aileron stick forces?

[Bilbo_Baggins]

Haven't purchased BoBP yet. I would like to know from those who already have access to the new airframes if the G14 modelled here has the Flettner tabs for improved roll stick forces?

 

Would be interesting to see the BF109 roll-rate and ailerons improved on with this version.

It has flettner on the rudder with the new long tail.

S!

 

 Also Bf109G-6 with taller wooden tail had the Flettner tab to reduce rudder forces.

I have a copy of a factory G-10 rigging print which shows the aileron boost (flettner) tabs* but I believe the only tab equipped ailerons found installed on flying aircraft didn't have the tab links installed and had an aluminum strip riveted across the gap to lock it in place.  They were only found on a handful of Ks, I believe, so I'm unaware of any that actually made it into regular service.  The problem could have been that while the boost tabs would have helped at speed they might have been excessive at slower speeds.  If that was the case it seems odd someone didn't try spring tabs. 

 

 

*aileron travel on this print is 22°40' +1°/-2° up and 11°20' +/-1°30' down with tab deflection at max aileron travel being 9° +/-2° (in opposite direction of aileron, of course).

The rudder, for comparison, shows 32° +/-2° either way of a not disclosed right of center neutral point (due to cambered fin) with the tab being 32° +/-2° at max deflection.
