John,
Like Paul I am not far off my mass balance weights installation. I however
have a Europa Classic. Is there a benefit in waiting until after I have
built my wings? I suppose it may not matter, "the apple before the cart" so
to speak. I figure either way, you either build an aileron complete and
make a wing to accomodate, or visa versa. Any thoughts?
