Victor, I highly reccommend using steel angle instead of the aluminum which is called for in the manual. The reason is that the aluminum bracket can and will fail causing you to loose your counterbalance weight. This exact this happened to Jim Faughn at the Gathering in Red Oak, IA. As far as the weight, it is best to make one out of lead. The amount of lead needed depends on how much it takes to counterbalance your aileron. You can shape it any way you want. Use your imagination. Mine is basically rectangle and I did a fairing on the wing in front of it for the airflow.

Hello Guys and Glenda, I can't find the aileron counter weight bracket drawings anywhere. It looks pretty simple. Can someone tell me what it is made out of and a size? Thanks, Victor, headed to the airport to work on the KR... with my iphone to check my email. _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
