vmar discovery WING
 
i've built a vmar discovery arf trainer
but now it seems that the right half of the wing is heavier than the left half...

is this normal for an arf trainer?
maybe to counter the torque of the engine?
but i found it strange as i am unable to balance the wing alone at it's section where
the ailleron servo should be mounted. It keeps turning to the right: the heavier side...

help?

I've heard Vmar isn't the best quality products,you'll have to balance the wing with stick-on weights of put it in the wing somehow if you weant to hide it,i think.

you'll probably find somebody at the factory left a pair of pliers in that side!:D

Wait until you have the entire aircraft assembled and then check the lateral balance. If need be you can add some weight to the left wingtip by drilling a hole and epoxying in some lead shot or something.
