The short answer is Yes. The longer answer is that ailerons MUST be balanced, elevators can be balanced, and rudders are not really a concern. >-2 has any body encouter any flutter or unusual viprations at high speed ? Supposedly, one KR based based plane broke apart during a high speed run and it is believed that a mass balance broke off of one aileron and it went into flutter. This happened at one of the gathers back in the 80's.
