or....... move the engine forwars, move the battery forward... move the radio forwars... move the servos forward... move the tank forward.... sink an ound of lead in the nose... use a heavier prop.... use a haevier nose wheel... use golden rod pushrods in tail and metal in nose... DONT CHOP IT TO PEICES although if you were to just cut a triangular peice out where the horn is it would be easy to fix that...
Which means I need to replace the rudder control horn from a single to a double ended horn.
and thats going to save u weight?? adding 2 steel wires and an extra horn vs a horn and a steel wire... ur not gonna save hardly any weight.
You seem to overlook the post where I mentioned that I had everything already shoved right behind the firewall (throttle servo, battery, receiver, and tank) and the plane is still tailheavy.
Somehow, adding more weight (lead, heavier prop) to the nose of a 3D plane is one of my last options.
Nose wheel? The Funtana 90 (as I mentioned in an earlier post was the plane in question) is a taildragger.
How much more weight do you think a double horn is compared to a single? Not much.
The Horn, it's also stuck due to the CA oozing through the holes onto the wood and horn, so cutting off the base won't do as it's held by the CA. As Plumber stated, grinding it even with the surface would probably work best.
I wasn't necessarily trying to save weight. I was trying to prevent having to add useless static weight to the nose.
Thanks for the advice though.
