I've just got my airplane painted and was hoping my left elevator would be a little closer to balanced, but the addition of paint didn't have the effect I was hoping for. I have permanently installed the elevator tips and painted over them, so they're not coming off.
Any suggestions on how to add weight to the left elevator? The only solution I could find was pouring a lead-shot/epoxy mix into the tooling hole and tipping it forward until it cures. I could easily do this, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach. I'd hate for the glob of lead to come loose inside the tip.![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
