Default RE: Impact

Hi Guy's,

I've just repaired the fuselage on my Impact and have reached the point where I need to re-fit the rudder. Has anyone experimented with static balancing on the rudder? Ive checked mine and it will require 80g in the forward mass balancer to balance the rudder on the hinge line. it has been explained to me that balancing the rudder will eliminate the further possibility of rudder flutter. I'm reluctant to add that much weight to the fuselage rear end but equally don't relish the thought of building a balsa replacement, any ideas?

All replies appreciated!

Andy.
