Default RE: Fly Eagle Jet F-14 Crash (video)

I have been reading this daily and think there may be a chance for my FEJ F-14 yet. I have only got as far as installing the Fins and the Elevators with the operating mechanisms. As mine is all HC also I have decided to strip it all out again and remove most of the HC former at the rear/aft and install ply sandwiched with CF. also intend to "lock in" the aluminium block with a piece of CF top and bottom glued to the former. One thing i know nothing about is the balancing of the elevators. I am used to building and flying BVM and YA jets so having to re work a new out of the box model is new to me but can't bring myself not to do it. Can I get some advice and guidance on how to balance the elevators/stabilisors. Thanks. Tom.
