Almost done 1/6 FEJ F-16
I am finally almost done with my F-16. I am doing the first balances to see were my batteries need to go.. I have heard that these particular jets were coming out tail heavy but mine was actually nose heavy. So far I need three sticks of the 1/4 ounces lead weights I forget how many are on each stick.. Here are a few pics...

I was told the same thing but mine ended up being nose heavy as well and after I converted my gear to electric and removed the UV5 valve I had to move my batteries around a little. What is your dry weight? I like the scheme
