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

The method employed by Falcon64 is to statically balance the stabs on the the pivot rod in its currently installed location.

This suggested "solution" does not address the fundamental concerns as to:
1) whether the stab pivot is in the correct location with respect to the MAC;
2) the engineering basis of balancing the stab behind the centre of pressure;
3) concerns regarding bolting the stab mechanism through the honeycomb material causing core compressive failure; and
4) structural concerns regarding the rear fuselage torsional loading.

As such, is likely not a "solution".
