I know I can by them from Zenith at 50 bucks but someone gave a location for a cheaper $15 one Chris Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=301728#301728 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:30:06 AM PST US Subject: Zenith601-List: Re: Aileron balance install From: "PatrickW" I did mine kind of like Ron did, except I "split the difference" between the rivet lines. http://www.zenith.aero/photo/aileron-balance-ribs Had plenty of clearance, and I didn't have to mess around with bending the arm. Having 20/20 hindsight, if I could do it all over again I'd have put the aileron trim on the right wing instead of the left. Between that and the counter weight, the left wing is starting to get kind of heavy way out there by the tip, and since the pilot sits on the left side anyway, it would have been nicer to have all that weight on the other side to balance things out better. I also like the idea of filling the end of that tube with lead and keeping the whole thing "skinny" so the aileron could be removed in the future if need be. I didn't do that, and hope I don't come to regret that. - Pat -------- Patrick XL/650/Corvair N63PZ (reserved) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=301742#301742 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:02:39 AM PST US Subject: Zenith601-List: Re: Aileron balance install From: "merlin" For what it's worth,,, did my aileron balance per the instructions from Zenith and it work out perfect. No interference with anything, no bending of the tube etc... I did put a couple of L angles on the front side of the rear spar one on each side of the "cut out" because I noticed with the weight installed, it (the rear spar at that point) seemed to flex just a little.

I have the center spar mostly assembled and I have both the front and back in position for drilling up through the top doubler (6-zu-2-1) However if I look closely through the holes I will just clip the old hole in 6w4-1. I appear to be making an aluminum sandwich with the new top doubler 6-zu2-1 and the seat front angle 6-zu-2-2. Should I just drill through the seat front angle, and into the top doubler, elongating the hole and not worry about it. I suppose that is why they went to pitch 20 on that row of rivets.
