I'm trying to balance my elevators and the left one is heavy (elevator trim servo) and would need some weight placed internally at the tip to allow it to trail (85 gm or 3 oz) and the right one is light. When coupled together it's pretty close and only a small amount of weight would need to come off the right. Does anybody have any thoughts? I would think that there would be some coupling or interaction at the centre point when under load, maybe coming up as a twisting force at the pushrod but I don't know whether it would be significant or not. I understand that the weight is different when painted and also the 85g weight when attached is suitably secured. Is it best to balance the elevators individually or treat them as a single unit? Thanks in advance.
