Removal Of Wing Flap; Installation Of Wing Flap - Piper Dakota Maintenance Manual

10. If static balance is not within limits specified, proceed as follows:
a. Leading Edge Heavy: This condition is highly improbable; recheck measurements and calcu-
lations.
b. Trailing Edge Heavy:
(1) There are no provisions for adding weight to balance weight to counteract a trailing edge
heavy condition; therefore, it will be necessary to determine exact cause of unbalance.
(2) If aileron is too heavy because of painting over old paint, strip all paint from aileron and
repaint.
(3) If aileron is too heavy resulting from repair to skin or ribs, replace all damaged parts and
recheck balance.
