Glen,
How do you balance the control surfaces in a 'coupe . Do you know? Does anyone know? The only thing I know is how the plane will be rigged and how to determine any further adjustments with test flights and bending the aileron trailing edge a bit up or down. But balancing?

Will the control surfaces be re-balanced when installed (legal requirement). 2. Any additional cost for addressing corrosion found after stripping? 3. Will the wing walks compound be removed and replaced with new? 4. Will any small dents or dimples be filled prior to painting? (You should carefully note all these locations prior to bringing it to the shop) 5. Will they paint the window bow (the metal strap which holds the windshield in place)? 6. When they repaint or reapply the N number, do you have a choice of fonts and styles? 7. I highly recommend you inspect their progress on a regular basis. At the least, check it after the stripping to make sure ALL the paint has been removed from every nook and cranny. Inspect it again after they tape off the design and make sure it is taped exactly like the design you provided to them. The chances are you will only paint your plane once in your time of ownership. Think really hard about the paint scheme and colors...you will have to live with it for a long time (similar to choosing a lover!).
