And I should have mentioned that with N56ML, the ailerons were also
balanced, but my ailerons were not per the plans....they are hinged in a
completely different manner, with a lead-filled 4130 tube in the nose of
the aileron, forward of the pivot point, and carefully balanced before
installation. And of course, rudder and elevator were not "per plans"
either!
On the FreeBird front, just in the last few weeks we've been working the
optional nose gear design, which will borrow heavily from what Robert
Pesak did on his KR2S. See http://www.krnet.org/krs/rpesak/ for more
details on that. It's a very simple welded up pivot structure, with no
crazy tubing bender required, and far less likely to fail that the
previous incarnation, plus it has some damping.
