RE: Balancing tailerons?
Yep, it's a Flanker, 9' OAL. Bertelli plans, much modified (for example, he drew fixed stabs and elevators). Being on the poor side, I've got 2 'low mileage' JPX 260P's, trying to shoehorn everything into the fuse is a challenge. The propane tanks just do fit into the intakes. I am looking at the new Jet Joe turbines with interest. Scratch building the gear due to the wierd geometry of the mains. I've got a Japanese made video of the Su 27 that's got some of the best photography I've ever seen (called Ram-K)which allows one to see all the control surface movements. Getting ready to cut in the LE flaps, as soon as I work up the courage-fearing making a mistake! The tailerons will use 1/4" shafts in 1/4 X 5/8 bearings mounted in AC ply bearing blocks. Probably two servos each side.
