Hello=2C
Many builders have the similar problems=2C including me=2C =3Bthe idea = is to install the =3Baileron counter weights as far forward on the lead= ing edge in order to increase the arm of the counterweights therfore using = less lead and keeping the overall the weight to a minimum. The old style co= unter weight is kind of a rounded triangle in cross setion and and should b= e installed on top of the leading edge with the bulky part forward. the new= style is almost a fattened L shape=2C the bulkier leg of the arm is mounte= d to the top of the leading edge with screws.
Important to note the aileron Travel limits are 20 degrees up and 14 degree= s down when the wing is mounted to the fuselage.( it is easy to mix up and = down).
It is a good idea also to check the limits for the other control surfaces a= nd see that they are up to specs
Rudder: 30 degrees left and 30 degrees right
Elevatror: 26 degrees up and 17 degrees down
