Default Labelle control surface weights

I have a Labelle in the shop that has had the ailerons refinished without
having been removed from the glider.
Which meant that the surfaces could not have been weighed nor mass balance
checked. Additionally the
AD 97-03-02 requiring weighing and mass balance checks has never been
completed.

I have weighed and noted mass balance of this gliders control surfaces. But
I would like to see similar data
from some other Labelle's as a cross check for this data. I thought I might
be able to get this from Streifenader,
but they have no data available. For those of you who have this data on
their gliders available and could send
me a copy. I will keep it on hand so that in the future some other Labelle
owner with damaged control surfaces
can have some baseline data for their repair.

We should not bother the newsgroup with data postings. Instead send
whatever is available to my e-mail
or post office address.
