IHRA · Driveline

Adjustable or rider-controlled trim tabs, IHRA

IHRA answers this part for 29 of its classes. 0 of those answers permit the part outright and 9 permit it with stated conditions, leaving 20 that do not. 3 of the ones that do not are classes we read as open rather than as refusing it. 20 are inferred from how the class is written rather than quoted from a rule naming this part.


Where it stands, class by class

29 classes, grouped where the same rule gives the same answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class that borrows its rules.

What each answer below means

Not permitted, not listed in the rules
Treat it as coming off. The class requires the craft to stay stock except where the rules allow otherwise, and this part is not on the list, so this is our reading rather than a rule we can quote at you.
Legal, with conditions
Keep it, but measure it: the rules permit this part only inside stated limits.
No rule, this is an open class
Probably keep it. The class carries no stock clause at all, so anything unlisted appears to be open. The rulebook does not say so in terms, and this is our reading rather than a permission anybody wrote down.

Adjustable or rider-controlled trim tabs: if the rule your class applies reads differently to you, or the rulebook has changed since this was read, ask. We answer with the section we read it from, or that we have not read it. Ask a rules question.
