I wouldn't. =C2-I hung mine initally to see how close they were...very cl
ose really,=C2-but you need to redo it after all the bodywork and paint i
s completed...so snug them up to keep them in place unti; your final balcan
e is completed, I use torq seal on everything so if I don't have the yellow
 seal I always recheck the torque, beats making a list as long as you stick
 to your method of never letting one go if it is not marked.

Thanks Rick.. 

Even though the plans don't call for it, I'm assuming I should go ahead and
 torque them down now. 

Thanks, 
Phil

Yup....drill out the amount needed to bring it into balance. Adding it in i
s a little tougher, but easily done casting some lead sheet to go under the
 attach bolts.

I've reached the point of trimming the counterbalance weights for the eleva
tors. 

Without having a chance to balance the elevators=C2-first, trimming these
 weights make me a bit nervous.=C2- It seems like there is the possibilit
y that Vans estimates could allow for too much removal. 

If I trim the weights=C2-as the plans describe, is there still more than 
enough lead remaining to balance the control surfaces later? 

If so, what's the process for removing the lead from a counterbalance weigh
t that's already in place?=C2- A=C2-drill? 

Thanks, 
Phil
