Europa-List: Thoughts on Aileron Balance Weights

[Andrew Sarangan <asarangan@YAHOO.COM>]

I have seen several builders say that most of the aileron balancing
lead ended up being drilled out, and that it was a laborious task. 

I am wondering if it would be better to build the entire arm with foam,
finish and paint. Then drill some holes through the glass into the foam
core and stick some lead balls and pot them in place. You can buy tiny
lead balls by the pound, and it seems tome that I can avoid all that
drilling and achieve a more accurate balance this way. 

Any thoughts?
