Elevator Balance for sport wing

Post by Barry »

Hello all,

Anyone have any time built up in the sport wing panther with counter weight elevator or spring version? I am beginning the rigging of my sport version and I am building it light for aerobatic and speed. I am researching the pros and cons of each, and after searching the forums I am still uncertain which way to go. Maybe Dan can offer his opinion here. I am using the o-320 Lycoming, I weigh 195lbs. Not going with auto pilot or any other frills. Strictly VFR day ripping fun!

Should I do the spring or counter weight elevator balance?????

Thanks folks!
