Bill, Bob and others, I've installed the Bob Weight from Lancair developed originally for the turbine Sentry. I've advised all IVP, IVPT and ES owners to install this kit using as much weight internal to the fuselage as possible. There has been a Lancair service bulletin in the past for loose elevator hinges. The mass balance weight in the elevators is a major factor especially on piston powered planes. If you ever taxi behind one of these aircraft and watch the H-stab shake you would probably agree. The H-stab begins to oscillate and is subjected to this flywheel effect due to the large weight in the elevators and rudder. I also recommend the V-stab fairing from the Sentry on all of these planes as it adds additional stiffness to the aft fuselage. I've installed Three. From what I understand, there is also an all carbon rudder available from Matt
