I think what they are saying that at the original inspection, the
balance weights are inspected and the aileron balance is verified, but
subsequent inspections ("annuals" I presume) don't go into that kind
of detail to verify that they are still capable of counterbalancing
the ailerons.

They gave a specific number ( 60 kilograms per millimetre (kg/mm)
residual moment.). Was the wreckage in good enough condition to
determine that and how exactly would they do that? If they would state
"the aileron was under balanced by 8 oz. for example I could comprehend
that but their numbers mean nothing to me.

P.S. My aileron were not checked on original inspection. I built them
with a slight "over-balance" assuming that "balanced" is ideal,
"over-balanced" second best, and "under-balanced" a no-no if required.
