Stabilizer static balance?
How many of you guys are static balancing your all-flying stabilizers? I am preping an old X-Terminator, BVM/Viojett powered, and checked the stab for balance. The stabs are significantly tail heavy and will require about 4 ounces of lead (2 ounces in each stab leading edge) to static balance neutral. I'd probably need another 2 ounces in the nose to offset the weight if I can't take care of it with the battery pack.
So, do I need the additional 6 ounces of weight, or do I simply use a strong servo to prevent stab flutter? What would be the minimum servo power you would recommend if I go the "strong servo" route?
Thanks,
Tom
