The IUCN Red List is a critical indicator of the health of the world's biodiversity. Far more than a list of species and their status, it is a powerful tool to inform and catalyze action for biodiversity conservation and policy change, critical to protecting the natural resources we need to survive. It provides information about range, population size, habitat and ecology, use and/or trade, threats, and conservation actions that will help inform necessary conservation decisions.

With the advent of high performance rotor smoothing systems... the need to "fine-tune" rotor blade trim tabs to within a fraction of a degree has proven to be critical... Our new tab tool kits provide consistent, precise, and reliable tab bends in increments of. 001 in(. 025 mm). These new kits provide innovative features including :[a] dial indicator to provide highly accurate, repeatable adjustments; [a] tab bending tool which allows the user to directly read tab position as bends are made; mechanical provisions that retain the tab measurement tool on the blade and position the tool repeatedly in the proper measurement position; [a] zero reference tool to set the tab measurement tool to the manufacturers’ zero point [and a] protective case for transport and storage.
