were out of whack, and if it is something that could be checked yourself

I have a full flying elevator. I'm not experiencing any problems, just
a little fuzzy on this....

Thanks....

Pops,
Without the physics, mass balance is used to prevent control surface flutter. Flutter was a problem with the Janus C elevator, and the solution was a technical bulletin requiring installation of a mass balance. Really good tight linkages can prevent the onset of flutter, as well as keeping the surface 'loaded'.
