Default RE: SIMLA BUILD THREAD

Duane,

Just weighed my wing halves yet again. Rt. wing half came to 28.4 ozs. and Lt. wing half to 29.6 ozs. making the left wing 1.2 ozs. heavier. When I laterally balanced my Simla, it was fully loaded with everything but fuel and required only 1/4 oz. added to the left wing to bring it into balance. The fuselage was in finishprimer and the wing halves were in uncovered balsa. With a little bit of effort I should be able to "paint" in the required 1/4 oz. into the left wing half, eliminating the need to add extra weight. The wings also had all hardware installed including servos, linkages, and landing gear. At this point, I can't help but think that I'm on the right track. What do you think?

Bill
