Apologies everyone  - an oversight on my part!



I thought I'd update you before anyone repeats my mistake of checking the

tailplane balance outside the aircraft.



Even with the errors induced by the control system friction - it is indeed

best to balance the tailplane in the fuselage rather than outside. The

reason for this is not because of the elevator pushrod and joystick, which

don't contribute to the static balance,  but because of the trim pushrod and

cross tube assembly - which do, to a surprising extent. 



Once the trim drive pushrod weight was added to the tab pins at the back, 58

of the 78 grams removed from the mass balance had to be added back to regain

balance. 



I will definitely be doing a final balance re-check once everything is

re-assembled on the fuselage!



Best regards



Roger Mills
