I have a mass balance in mine that predates the simpler design that Mark Langford and others are using. There was a fair amount of time invested in the idea and getting it all to fit and operate well, but it is fine and is tested to 200 mph with stock tail feathers. My pictures are from the olden days when film had to be developed. i could probably scan a couple and mail them to you. In any case I don't see the need to change the control horn dramatically Joe Horton, Coopersburg, PA. joe.kr2s.buil...@juno.com
