Hi! Paul
Best do a balance with the pitch control rod disconnected IMHO. However
have you finished painted them yet?  The paint applies a considerable
out of balance factor since there's more surface area behind the
rotational centre line than in front of it.

Am I supposed to adjust the TP mass balance weights to achieve equal  
force for up and down movements rather than just the tail planes  
remaining static when control column released?
