IS there any spec on how much weight is too much? These parts seem really heavy. If I had to guess I would estimate 3.5 to 4lbs of weight in my left elevator with trim tab and 3 lbs in the other. They are painted and currently they are slightly overbalanced. Should I drill out weight or leave them? IS there any concern for heavy parts like these. The ailerons aren't light either. They probably have 3lbs of lead on the leading edge to balance as well. --0016364ee1e45bbe19046818001a Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
