You need a couple knife edges to put the hinge bolts on, an accurate
balance, preferably digital for ease of use, to measure the downforce on
the rear edge of elevator.
Perhaps you can persuade some Copperstate attendees to give you a hand.
It is an operation where 4 hands or more are helpful. I would NOT skip
the balancing, given all the speed mods and hp mods I think you have,
which will have you pushing the upper end of Vne. ;-)
