Some may not use an actual weight, but simply use the design of the surface to make the appropriate counter balance...such as on the rudder of a Piper Cub.
I think the Cub has an aerodynamic balance to reduce the rudder control force, not a mass balance for flutter. The Cub's speed range is a bit low to worry much about flutter I would think.

Yeah, I think that's what I was getting at, but didn't have the right words. :oops: Thanks for clearing that up.

Gary, I think anytime a warbird has a runaway prop, the CAF should be blamed, as is custom in this site :wink:

Only if it's on a PBY........
Actually with guys like Gary, Bill & yourself that will change. Some things
are hard to forget (like the PBY crash).

I have a question and I hope one of you can help me with it....have'nt found the answer yet, just strange looks.....

When serving stewed prunes, how many does one serve? Is 2 too few? Is 3 too many?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
:wink:
