Default RE: lead weight

And if you need nose weight, on my last two models I bought flat round or triangular fishing weights at Academy sports. Then drilled and tapped the sides of my engine mounts and screwed the weights to the engine mounts. Puts the weight as far forward as possible, minimizing the amount needed and lets you remove or lighten the amount if needed as you get comfortable with the plane.
