A couple weeks ago I finished building the 7A tail section and have set it aside. One question kinda playing in the back of my mind. In the book it states the lead weights will "overbalance" the elevator at this point. This is to allow for painting. I suppose they mean the elevator will be in the UP position. Anyway.... I have not removed any of the lead yet in either the left or the right elevator. The right elevator does just like the book says, It's in the UP elevator position as expected. The left one, (with the trim tab) is heavy and is in the DOWN elevator position. Wondering if I'm going to need to add some more lead up there? Any thoughts are appreciated.
