Subject: [LML] AILERON WEIGHT

This past weekend, I completed an aileron on my 360. After counter weighing
the unit to 100%, I weighed it with the hinges attached but no fittings or
push rods. The total weight was around 76 ounces (counter weight=41 ounces).
Does someone have any idea if this is in the ballpark? It feels heavier than
I imagined. I used all the suggested constuction ideas on keeping the aileron
light but have no idea if it is. The aileron has been closed out at the both
ends with foam and a one bid but this probably didn't add much weight.
