Default RE: Pro and Con's COntrol surface Balance??

I fly the Skymaster F-16 1/6 and did not balance the stabs - they are tail heavy, but will be swept back by the airflow
once the plane is moving. I have had 3 F-16 and only balanced the first set of stabs, but did not fell or see any difference.
When you see the full size powered down on the ground the stabs are hanging straight down aft.
