Could someone explain the idea, in semi layman's terms, why it's important, how it's done, what could be experienced if the balancing were out of whack, and if it is something that could be checked yourself with a procedural guide... I have a full flying elevator. I'm not experiencing any problems, just a little fuzzy on this.... Thanks.... -- POPS On Sunday, July 15, 2012 2:38:47 PM UTC-7, POPS wrote: Could someone explain the idea, in semi layman's terms, why it's important, how it's done, what could be experienced if the balancing were out of whack, and if it is something that could be checked yourself with a procedural guide...

Flutter was a problem with the Janus C elevator, and the solution was a technical bulletin requiring installation of a mass balance. Really good tight linkages can prevent the onset of flutter, as well as keeping the surface 'loaded'. Jim Wynhoff
