RE: Those of you that have made aileron counterbalance arms, how long is the bracket leg the weight sits on? Also, what material did you make your brackets from.
Mark, http://kr-builder.org/Aileron/index.html About 3/4 of the way down the thumbnails. I made it as long as I could fit in the space I had for it to go into. Remember the problem Jim Faughn had with his. You might want to make them out of steel. I made mine like this on the last KR and never had a problem, but I never flew mine like Jim flys his. This shows how I made the brackets, the weights, and how it is installed. There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for building has expired.
