 |
|
maybe I'll be the last to post and I think I read everyones responses. An
important point to consider is that once the elevator tip farings are
installed, one can no longer get access to the bold head or the nut of the
bolt which holds these weights on. So it might be wise to error on the heavy
side so that one could nip away at the excess weight in the future if the
lead needs to be lightened.
I suppose one could also epoxy in the nut to the rib so that one could
replace the weight and still torque it down without removing the faring and
messing up the paint job.
I don't think anyone mentioned this.

OK, call me dumb and I know, always measure twice and saw once. You
guessed
it, I trimmed one elevator counterbalance weight wrong and cut a bit too
much off. How will this affect the elevator and rigging later on? Should
I
suck it up and get a new weight or go with this one? It's probably only a
few ounces off. I haven't weighed it.

John,
I installed my elevator tips with screws for easy removal and to avoid
the problems you mentioned.
