Default RE: Explain counter balanced ailerons...

I can easily understand the aero balanced rudder. That I can see. And have understood for a while, but this weight thing....I guess I would have to have a mock up dummy with with a weight on it. It still doesnt seem like a 8 lb plate could keep a 70 lb aileron from flutter or ease of stick force. It must, or they wouldnt run them. I am not arguing, just confused...LOL
