Without having a chance to balance the elevators first, trimming these weights make me a bit nervous. It seems like there is the possibility that Vans estimates could allow for too much removal. If I trim the weights 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 weight that's already in place? A drill? Thanks, Phil ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:04:43 PM PST US From: Rick Sked Subject: Re: RV10-List: Elevator Counterbalance 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.

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