Hi Lorn,
I do agree with you completely.
But the trick will be to somehow make provision for additional weight being added to the counterweight arm after all the pretty paint and clearcoat, etc.

The manual (the one I stopped reading several years ago) states 100% mass balance will be achieved when the counterweight arm hangs 1/2" to 3/4" low with all bits and pieces of hardware attached. Presumably this overwieght position is to account for the extra weight of paint, etc.
It would be deadly to assume that 1/2" to 3/4" counterweight low would be enough to balance final painting and assembly.
The elevators MUST be balanced after the painting and final assembly. You can not assume that any amount of over balance will compensate for the paint and final assembly, whatever that assembly might be.
