1 oz 3 feet away = 3 oz 1 foot away in terms of balancing at the CG. So if I add an ounce at the tail, I need > 3 oz in the nose depending on where I have room to add weight...

and I'd really like to add in the detail of a tail retract... which will blow all of this to hell... I'm trying to figure out the feasibility of batteries in the center, My current hangup is how to remove them for charging without taking the wing off...

Does anyone know where I can find soft ( flexible ) stranded 12 gauge wire? Lowes and Home Depot sell stranded wire but it is very stiff.
