Aileron mass balance arm. ________________________________
Have an idea for a mass balance arm and would like peoples thoughts or opinions on it or if it has already been done this way before without any issues. what about an arm made up of fiberglass to a lay up say 3/16 or 1/4" thick and say 2" wide and moulded to shape so one end can extend inside the cord of the aileron and flox in and with a tab extending off it and 4" wide as a bolting face to the inside of the spar then can be shaped to extend over the spars into the mass balance pocket without cutting into the aileron wing spar then the raised portion that extends over the spars can then be faired back onto the aileron skin, anyone consider this strong enough or ridiculous idea? thought behind it is as moulded there is no stress point in any bends as could be in alloy or steel, or just stick to steel and be done with it? _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
