A model elevator balance

Post by VernH »

Since the A model does not have a counter balance on the elevator, is there a requirement to balance after painting? The SB shows "None Specified" in the column for weight on both elevators, The B model shows a weight value.

Thanks in advance
Fly safe!

The rigging instructions are contained in the Mx Library. The 170A elevator balance is discussed on Page 6. Balance limits are 0.0 to +67.3
