You are refering to pitch control for the blades and the little tab thingys are called trim tabs.

gmaxer - have you downloaded the Microsoft SDKs?  The documentation gives you the tags needed to properly assign the names to the different parts.

In some cases, you may need to create custom XML aniimations to get the animation you need.

There's a little Gmax Script that is available. It's called Tag Tool and it has a set of FS animation names that you can use for the objects in question.

You can find it at: http://www.scenery.org/tutorials.htm

It's somewhere near the middle of the page under the title: TagTool version 1.0.1
