Can someone tell me what the length of the counter weight arm is on the aileron. I cannot seem to find that information within the plans. Jeff

Can you tell me what your counterweight bar is made from? I have some 2x4x1/4 AL stock that I am trying to figure out if that will suffice for strength and length. -Jeff >From: jscott.pi...@juno.com >Reply-To: KRnet >To: kr...@mylist.net >Subject: Re: KR> aileron counter weight >Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2005 21:01:06 -0600 > > >On Thu, 07 Jul 2005 20:38:37 -0600 "wilder_jeff Wilder" > writes: > > > > Can someone tell me what the length of the counter weight arm is on the > > > aileron.

I believe that everyone is recommending to use steel since we watched one fall off of Jim F. at the gathering at Red Oak 2 years ago. Believed to be aluminum fatigue.

Ours are 2 X 4 X 1/8. I believe that is what Jim Faughn had that broke. That does not mean that they will all break. Your aluminum is 1/4". I really don't think that will break, but your results will vary. See you in Mt.

I used two pieces of 1/8" steel angle, bolted onto each other like a double L and taking the counterweight on one arm and clamping the aileron spar between them on the other. As long as would fit behind the rear spar. John Martindale Family 29 Jane Circuit Toormina NSW 2452 Australia ph: 61 2 66 584767 email: johnja...@optusnet.com.au

I had some that were about 1/8 X 1. My ballance weights were right up to the aft spar and tear drop shaped so most of the weight was by the aft spar. Mine were easily less than half the weight of Jim's because his are on fairly short arms. The closer to the spar you can get them the better.
