AILERON MASS-BALANCERS
« on: April 04, 2018, 10:48:02 PM »
Would like some input on the question of adding mass-balancers to the ailerons.    Would they improve control?   

Oh, and while I'm at it, a second request:   Would like to put the weorkman wheel systems on my DE but not being accomplished  on my landngs (asphalt runway) worry that sideloads would ruin them.  Am looking at 5? aluminum wheels as an alternative.   What tire sizes do you all find best?
