(I have the molded Carbon Fiber ailerons with the flange at the lower surface of the aileron). The weights "clip" over and extend beyond, the forward edge of the flange, run the length of the aileron, and taper in thickness as they go toward the tip. I got good aileron range of deflection with them attached using 1/2" SS self tapping screws. My intent is to remove the screws, bond them in place, reinsert the screws, and wrap them with glass cloth to finish the installation. I'm waiting on doing this sequence until after I prime the ailerons and can do a reasonable first balance. The last I heard he was attempting to get more made and available, but was forecasting the end of September at best. I very happy with them, not only because they appear to work well, but I was close to having to fabricate a mold myself when I received them. Paul Bricker N63PB 70%
