Also question is, what is a balanced control surface?

Most control surfaces are balanced such as the ailerons, rudder, and elevators. This is done so that the control surface does not vibrate or worse yet go into a flutter at higher speeds and altitudes.

Similarly, what is the disadvantages of servo tab? The disadvantage of the servo tab is reduced control effectiveness at low IAS. Spring Tabs: High dynamic pressure will prevent the surface from moving, so the spring is compressed by the pilot input and the tab moves the surface (diminishing the control forces required for the pilot).

Also question is, why are control surfaces balanced?

The reason for this is because of the control surface's relatively small area forward of the hinge line that is available for adding the weight needed to balance the control surface. More often, though, elevators and rudders are hinged along their centerlines with individual steel hinges.

What is unbalanced rudder?

Unbalanced rudder A rudder with all of its area aft of the turning axis. At no angle rudder is balanced. Axis of rotation is the leading edge.
