Istvar,
I have contacted the person I knew (he is a long established glider repairer here in the UK).
From his PIK20D Flight/repair manual, repair section page 3 section 9 "Balancing of control surfaces":
This measurement from the hinge line:
Aeleron: 29mm
Flap: 35mm
Rudder: 20 mm
The idea is to balance the surface on that measurement (no tolerances given, but he says Schleicher work on about 10-15%)
For the Elevator the moment should be less than 40g/mm from the hinge line.
Hope this helps.
Rgds,
Derrick Steed
