Low,
The trim tab will just be a small extension of the area of the aileron.
The drooped ailerons are only used during take off, initial climb and possibly landing. You will not be using the autopilot during these phases of flight.
Make sure that you have full down aileron travel when drooped. The drooped position is the new neutral. Full travel must be available from this new neutral. On the 185 when the drooping system was installed the hinge pivot point had to be moved aft a bit so the the full down position wasn't restricted. If the down angle is restricted the other aileron will not go up enough.
