We all use maximum flap angle SU-27 and 30, I don’t have a cm distance without checking, but it’s way more than 5cm-there is no blanking issue I have experienced in the SU-27 I have flown.

You said tail weight in the op.? No batteries will be in the nose cone. Add landing fuel before balancing as its in front of the balance point.

You have the batteries in the nose? you would need tail weight. You will probably go back on CARF's balance point too. Any fuel in the tank doing the balance? If not you are wasting your time doing...

Why would you put all that load on a single tiny 25 tooth spline, when you can share the load. Same reason we went two servos on the 1:5.3 Hawk and the Mephisto.

None of ours have been counter balanced as it adds weight to the rear which would need compensating at the nose, but also there has been no issues with flutter either.
