I recall the maximum allowed to remove the counter weights was 3/16 of an inch. The counter weights were to prevent flutter, this is what I believe he is getting. This can be a very serious situation and could have disastrous results, like loosing the aileron. The system needs to be checked for excessive play in the aileron system all the way from the yoke to the aileron. I think most coupes have these weights removed as they were quite heavy, I know I removed mine and have been thinking of reinstalling them.
