Hey KatMan-

Dew the aileron balance perfectly when the wing c/l is level? It appears to me from looking at the picture that the counter-weight is too heavy for that aileron. Seems to me that it should be like a propellor when both blades are perfectly matched in weight; it should balance at any rotational position in which it is placed. Also; is it not best for the weight to be centered (as if placed on a "tip plate" extension) with respect to the c/l of the wing and aileron? Not that it necessarily has to be, but just works better that way? The aileron shoud not displace from neutral in any position the wing is placed. That is what makes them work. That is my understanding of balanced ailerons. Any experts care to comment? It appears that we have finally reached the point at which we are headed in the right direction with this thread. Kinda' sad.....I've learned a lot :-))
