KR> Elevator weights advise

2014-05-05 Thread ppaul...@aol.com via KRnet
I can't decide where to put my elevator counter weights. I'm adding three inche 
foam horns to the elevator and covering  the hole thing  with carbon fiber.  
With the horns just foam will they be strong enough to support the weight  or 
should I just add the weight off the push rod like Mark did. How much weight 
are we talking about?  I'm using the new  tail.

I built the wider tail on N3151K and ?need ~ 4.5 pounds to statically balance 
my elevator without primer and paint. 2.5 pounds on each horn right now 
.Probably a little more when painted..
