Default RE: How to prepare a plane for maiden Flight?

I was able to balance it even. Today when i was breaking in the motor a bit more and dialing in the low end idle, one of the weights came off. I think the fuel rendered the adhesive on the tape usless. Any ideas on how to fix the weights on so they won't come loose from vibration or fuel??

WCB - I think I figured out what happend. The starter I have came with big ol' aligator clips for use on a car battery. When I put the starter down after the motor fired up, I think the two clips shifted and made contact. I was able to repalce the clips with bananna clips on the starter, and put new leads from the power panel. I have been using for the past few days, and everything seems to be running great. Lesson learned, and thankfully the panel still works.

CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS BAD BOY IN THE AIR!!!!
