7. Paint
is a considerable
weight
factor.
In order
to keep
balance weight
to
a mini-
mum, it is
recommended
that existing
paint
be removed
before adding
paint to
a
control surface.
Increase
in balance
weight
will also be
limited by
the amount
of
space
available
and clearance
with adjacent
parts.
Good
workmanship
and
stan-
dard repair
practices should
not result
in unreasonable
balance weight.
8.
The approximate
amount
of weight
needed
may be determined
by
taping loose
weight
at the
balance
weight
area.
9.
Lighten
balance
weight
by drilling
off
part of
weight.
10. Make
balance weight
heavier
by fusing
bar stock solder
to weight
after removal
from
control surface.
The
ailerons should
have
balance weight
increased
by or-
dering
additional
weight
and
attaching
bracket,
listed
in applicable
Parts
Catalog,
and installing
next
to existing
inboard weight
the minimum
length
necessary
for
correct
balance.
However,
install weights
and attaching
brackets
in
lengths
which
contain at
least two attaching
rivets.
If necessary,
lighten
the new
weights
or
existing
weights
for correct
balance.
