HI guys thanks for the feed back! I have just asked the questions to get some oppions of other builders as I am no engineer and really want to fly and safely. I have been told by different fellows that elevator balancing is needed and have emphasised the need with more power but yes flutter can happen at any speed and I have seen some kr's that are flying with no balancing I am putting in a more powerful engine and have been told that flutter could be a problem at higher speeds that is why I have asked about the subject as I want to fly for a long time not a short stint. My plane had been built straight to the plans and was going to have an 0200 but they are quite a dear engine to get and overhaul so I looked around and got a little more power but I was told to by the previous builder balance that elevator before u fly it! I am going to balance it for piece of mind! I am going to use a piece of chromolly on each side of the elevator and attach it to the elevator. How have other's done it that are flying I am looking to have mine looking like marty roberts plane how did he do it. I don't have his email address and would love to talk to him about how he did his! cheers Ross
