HI guys thanks for the feed back! I have just asked the questions to get
some oppions of other builders as I am no engineer and really want to fly
and safely. I have been told by different fellows that elevator balancing is
needed and have emphasised the need with more power but yes flutter can
How have other's done it that are flying I am looking to have mine

How critical is it to make sure both ends of an elevator is balanced evenly.
Mean one side of the balance being heavier than the other but still 100%
balanced elevator.

That means your elevator will fall off if you go fast.

Justin,
What are we
that can be made during
the design and test stage of the elevator thru GVT
ground vibration testing. Thats why we follow the plans
on this one. Joe
I can hear it now!

Sorry about the mixup
I'm going to add the grass strip comment to my best
comment book.
Thanks Joe
Ps. Do you have a taildragger?

I did the elevator counter balance today with the elevator being the "Horn "
style ( Richard Mole design ) with the naca 63009 airfoil.
With the weight in the horns it took a total of 28 ounces of lead in 4 peices
of conduit. Maybe 29 OZ in all. Anyone else know the weight required for
their
I did not counterbalance my elevator as per the plans. These airplanes
are usually tail heavy as opposed to nose heavy with today's over weight
pilots. That being saidputting almost 2 lbs of lead that far
to the rear will have a more dramatic effect on the cg than you may
think. Use cau
