It seems to me from flights in others' planes that the control forces are  not so well harmonized in the 601XL, with the elevator being significantly  "lighter" than the ailerons.  (I will be building a TD, and have not flown  one, and it won't have the nosewheel centering system, so I really can't say how  the rudder will feel.)  Anyway, I was considering adding aileron spades to  lighten the control feel, adjusting the size of the spades to get something more  harmonious.  Note that a properly designed spade would add both aerodynamic  and mass balance.

  

 I am hoping that some other builder has tried this.  Anyone out  there?
