Am I supposed to adjust the TP mass balance weights to achieve equal  

force for up and down movements rather than just the tail planes  

remaining static when control column released?

Paul,

Equal force. Use a spring weight balance on the control column (pitch) with the same force to move it or a rubber band and same length to move the control column.

Cheers,

Tim

Hi! Paul

Best do a balance with the pitch control rod disconnected IMHO. However

have you finished painted them yet?  The paint applies a considerable

out of balance factor since there's more surface area behind the

rotational centre line than in front of it.

Thanks for that - yes they are all painted up - looks even more like  

an aeroplane
