C. The aileron and balance tab are independently balanced. The aileron is statically balanced as a component. The balance tab is statically balanced by adding or installing weights to the balance panel. The number of weights required is subject to the weight of the balance tab.
D. In No. 1, 2, and 4 bays, the aileron nose extension does not have a balance panel, but has a polyamide nylon seal mounted upon the nose extension coming into contact with a seal baffle. These seals along with a similar seal on the balance panel, control the airflow around the front of the aileron. A clearance between the aileron nose and the wing structure provide the controlled airflow area necessary for balance panel operation.
3. Aileron Balance Tab
A. The aileron balance tab functions to reduce the force required to position the aileron. Motion of the tab is controlled by dual tab pushrods which provide attachment between tab and wing structure (Fig. 7). Balance tab travel is opposite to aileron travel, that is, a downward movement of the aileron produces an upward movement of the balance tab.
B. The aileron balance tab is a thin tapered light weight control surface with an aluminum spar, fiberglass honeycomb core, fiberglass skin, and an aluminum alloy nose. On some airplanes, the aileron balance tab is of graphite/epoxy construction with a nomex honeycomb core. It is attached to the aileron rear spar by four hinge bearings. Left and right balance tabs are identical except for mounting of the mast fitting and related fairing.
C. The aileron balance tab may be replaced without rebalancing the aileron. Each tab is furnished with adjust weights that bolt to the balance panel. The required number of adjust weights is stamped on a data plate attached to each balance tab.
4. Aileron Balance Panels and Seals
A. Aileron balance panels reduce the force required to position the ailerons in flight. Each aileron has one balance panel located at number 3 bay. The balance panel is connected to the aileron nose by a continuous hinge at the aft edge. The forward edge of each balance panel is attached to the wing structure by an idler hinge which provides the necessary articulation for movement of the balance panel (Fig. 3). The seals at the hinge points are made of dacron fabric impregnated with silicone rubber. Mylar seals are installed along the inboard and outboard edges of the balance panel.
