ORIGINAL: 4005
The nice man at the LHS sold me lead weights made for wooden car models and told me glue them wherever needed on outside of plane, is this correct?
Since I'm a newby to airplanes I have no idea about balancing an airplane. What I can add is; golfers use a lead tape to add swing weight to the exact spot they want on the club face. I also used this tape to bring my RC car(s) up to weight and place that weight exactly where I wanted it and would place it under the car to lower the CG even more. I would guess this tape could be a benefit in airplane use too.

Just a thought...
