Jim Wrote Was the strengh of the counterbalance mount the original issue, or am I having a senior moment? ------------
Yes , my point in the begining ( before all this got carried away) was to impact on the importance of the Mass mounting arm strength as well as the way it is mounted to the elevator I was concerned with the mass weight on the elevator tips. and glassing 4130 to the tips and filling with lead. Where Mark Lankford has mounted his on the Bell crank infront of the elevator. I also know the John Martindale from here ,( Down Under) mounted his mass weight on the bell crank mounted to the rear spar. But at least it got some comments. Has anyone got any comments on my post regarding R.E.Bearings on the rudder, and the side load weight of the rudder on the Rod end Bearing???? How will the REB handle the side Load???
