Hi group, I'm in need of an education in the area of aileron counter balance weights. Every application I've looked at has the weight located in a fixed position opposite the aileron and on its chord line. Could this counterweight be relocated into the wing and connected by linkage? Naturally the weight would need to rotate on a bearing and top quality rod ends would be a must as there could be no loose clearances. Engineers please dumb it down a little for me and if possible give me an example of how I could give this idea a fair test. Steve
