LNE, Thanks for that! JohnBuckner has some good ideas there, and with his experience I am sure they work.

Looking at the wing on my Tiger II, adding a spade/counter-balance would be the easiest thing for me to do, so going to give it a try. I can just trim the inboard side of the aileron and epoxy on a ply support that will allow the spade to be forward of the hinge point, just like John's counter-weight.
