Default Balancing Elevators on a TF Corsair, Is it necessary?

OK I'm pushing ahead after a LONG hiatus on this build. I just have to cover the Elevator halves with Coverite before painting. I remember Shupack balanced his elevator halves with lead before covering.

Questions?
Is this really necessary in a plane this size flying scale.

How many of you TF 60 Corsair guys took the time to do this.

Is the chance of flutter that much.


I'm asking because if I put 1/2 oz on the tail total I'll need what 3x as much weight to offset in the nose.

Thanks,
Pete
