Default Balance question...

I am fininshing up a SIG Kadet Senior ARF and I placed each wing half on the postal scale and noticed a 1oz difference in weight . Is it advisable to tend to this or wait to balance entire assembled aircraft side to side? I am not a really wanting to stick a weight on the outside of the wing when finished. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Perry

I wouldn't worry about it. The plane won't even notice it.

That size and type of airplane won't be bothered by that little bit of mis-match, but if it bugs ya, just screw a few drywall or deck screws into the tip block after your done. Try balancing the entire plane w/ the wing on (laterally ) and see if it balances. If the wt. is opposite the muffler, it might actually help ya the way it is?!
