Default Edge Wingrock revisited

After some experimenting I got rid 98% of my wing rock..the other 2% is pilot error

Basically I added 1/4 oz to the left wing tip to balance laterally..I also added tailweight 1/4 oz at a time and wound up with 1 1/4oz on the tail in the end..I originally balanced at 4/34 but havent checked it since adding the weight..Landings are still easy and the extra tailweight didnt affect it at all..I also programmed abut 15 deg of spoileron..the result is awesome! Its a different plane..parachutes are awesome! the tail just snaps down and doesnt move..elevators instead of descending on a 45 deg angle now drop almost straight down..and fast!!
I havent had a chance to work on my harriers but I did try a few and it locked right in...Also knife edge is much better as well..
just thought Id post this in case anyone is having wing rock issues
