hey all. im looking to turn a plastic uscgc taney into an rc. its my first rc build, and i know there are a lot of old threads out there, but most are unhelpful. some have been, but im trying to make it sit right. so far everything i have tried has made it either to far above the waterline, or it isnt small enough. i did do a ballast test and found that the correct ballast is (sorry im also a rifle shooter...) 515 grains, 1.17 oz or 33.3 grams. that test was just the hull. no bridge, deck or anything else. i know that micro helis have miniscule parts, but i dont know anything other then how to fly them. if anyone could give me some form of an idea of parts to use that would be awesome.
thanks
