Mine was not statically balanced, and I did a quick plot of the pivot point when I first receive the jet and was satisfied with AMA's calculation guide line, which I believe also contributed the 14's survivability when the right stab departed from its control linkage. Never mind the subsequent fire!

Steve, with your skills and statically balancing, I would expect you be able to land it on the runway and taxi back.
