 |
|
Test flying my M3X and noticed aileron flutter at about 80. Is there any balancing to be done (weight to be added) via the balance tube outboard of the flaperons?

Aileron balance is required on the Kolbs. Not suggested,not advised,but Mandatory.

My mk3 has tubes on the end of the ailerons into which a solid 1/2 dia steel rod is slid, parallel to the tip and 90 degrees from the hinges Disconnect the control push rod then slide the solid rod into the tube until it balances the aileron,then drill through the tube and solid rod and bolt the rod into the tube.Mine has about 10 to 12 inches of steel rod hanging out of the tube.Depends a lot on how much paint you get on the ailerons.
