After counter weighing the unit to 100%, I weighed it with the hinges attached but no fittings or push rods. The total weight was around 76 ounces (counter weight=41 ounces). Does someone have any idea if this is in the ballpark? It feels heavier than I imagined. I used all the suggested constuction ideas on keeping the aileron light but have no idea if it is. The aileron has been closed out at the both ends with foam and a one bid but this probably didn't add much weight. Mark Quinn Carbon Fiber 360 Spruce Creek Fly-In Daytona beach, Fl.
