Default Balancing ailerons

Balancing Ailerons...

I have never balanced ailerons before. The faster the plane I fly the higher the torque servo I have used. So why not balance to help prevent the high speed flutter. Anyway, what is the proper way to determine the balance point on your aileron? 25% MAC just like you would a wing?

I plan to add the weight inside the leading edge of the aileron and then proceed to glass over it. The lead wire will be in sections between the point hinges.

Any advice from someone who knows?

Thanks,
