RUDDER BALANCE.
The rudder has been statically balanced at the time of the installation at the factory and normally should not require rebalancing. Where possible the rudder was set with the balance weight on the heavy side of the limits to permit limited repair or paint touch-up without adjusting the balance weight. It should be noted, however, that spare rudders are delivered unpainted and the static balance will not necessarily fall within the limits provided. The completed rudder including paint should be within the limits given in Figure 55-5. If the rudder is not to be painted, the balance weight will probably require adjustment. All replacement rudders or rudders that have been repainted or repaired should be rebalanced according to the procedures given in this chapter. The static balance of the rudder must be within the limits specified in the figure referenced above.
Before balancing any control surface, it must be complete including tip, trim / servo tabs as applicable and tab actuating arms or push rods with bearings as applicable and all optional equipment which is mounted on or in the control surface when it is flown, including paint, position lights and wiring, static wicks, scuff boots, etc.
If optional equipment is added or removed after balancing, the control surface must be rebalanced. During balancing, trim/servo tabs must be maintained in the neutral position.

BALANCING RUDDER. (Refer to Figure 55-5.)
1. Insure that the control surface is in its final flight configuration, static wicks, trim tabs, trim tab push-pull rod and control surface tip (as applicable) should be installed. The surface should be painted and trim,servo tabs should be in the neutral position.
