RE: 1/2a Piper J3
Hi,
I am almost done looks good so far.
I have some questions about weight though. Without covering the wing as in the picture but include everything radio gear engine everything comes 18 oz with a cooking scale. but it is so tail heavy right now. to balance it i roughly have to put 3 oz weight to the front. and that makes 21 oz!!! i put my batary pack as close as to the engine(its right behind the firewall), behind it i put my reciever and then servos. i dont want to add 3 oz dead weight to the plane. any suggestions what could i do??
i have 2 things in my mind. 1) i could use my golden bees tank instead of babe bees plastic tank. But it would still be dead weight.
2) ive used steel wire pushrods going through pipes. and glued the pipes to the fuse. Im thinking those are heavy. but if i go with a thinner wire i am sure it will bend at some point.
Any suggestions??
