>  But in any case, mass balancing  seems very impractical in foam-core RC
glider wings.

Not if what you are doing is trying to break the DS speed record as Craig
is. I've seen the wing. You could support the wing tips and stand on the
center section. And it probably wouldn't flex at all. Craig is one of
several people designing planes to break the DS record.

Surface flutter is one of the main causes of structural failure in DS record
attempts and Craig is trying to eliminate that flutter.

Hopefully Craig or one other true speed freaks working on the record will
break the 200 mph barrier soon.
