Hey finger pointers and name callers, stop for a minute and discuss something.
I went to an EAA breakfast this morning after some more time in IFR training (Love those VFR holds! I feel like a NASCAR driver!!) . In conversation, a gentleman in a Stagar EZ and I discussed Static balancing he did for his alerons. It was simply a steel rod attached at the lower portion of the aleron (composite) on the front side below the hing line. Seemed to work nicely and simle to boot. It made a very small foot print on the part since it spaned the width of the aleron. It literaly was a rod attached at the most forward lower angle of the aleron and is hidden by the rear chanel.
Is this literaly what "MAY" be possible for balancing and is it a valid method of doing it. It worked on his 200mph plane obvioulsy. If so it requires no modification of the exissting wing structure. It seem regardless of speed, balancing makes it a better mechanically.
So, instead of pointing fingers, take a break and do something constructive like telling me what you think. - - - About the method of balancing!
I only have a bit of common sense and no formal degree in engineering. Funny though, I do train several in my line of work though and they always want my opinion! Kind of comical them learning from me!!!! In the school of hard knocks there is no certificate of BS or PHD.
If I need to do a small sketch I will be glad to.
Thanks,
Rich
