Default RE: Balancing tailerons?

The pivot point for least load on the servo(s) should be no further aft than 25% mac of the surface. Balancing a little forward of the pivot aids in streamlining under load, without adding too much load on the servo.
Find the mac using the normal procedure used for finding it on a swept wing.
