Has anyone ever weighed an aileron before and after painting? I wonder how much of a weight increase is seen with a typical paint job.
Obviously I'm thinking of issues that might occur with the aileron balance.

Hi Tim,
Just a guess . . . I would think a proper (i.e. thin) paint job would weigh
considerably less than one of those steel weights. It would take perhaps
one or two ounces of thinned paint per coat and maybe4 or 5 coats. Of
course, most of the weight of the liquid paint would be thinner.
