If some one can tell me details about aileron connection on this aircraft, I will post some photos:

Are these mass balance weights or do they have any effect on aileron balance? Basically, can you figure out visually if these ailerons are mass balanced or not? They are fabric covered.

Sorry for this stupid question, I don't have any knowledge on this aspect and I will like to know if these ailerons are balanced or not. I highlighted the linkage with blue circles.

Generally, is there a way to figure out if airplane surfaces are designed mass balanced or not, especially ailerons?

Thank you very much and Merry Christmas everyone!;)
