the wing tips are balsa and holow. I don't want anything moving around in them so I don't want to just stuff something in therethe wing tips are balsa and hollow. I don't want anything moving around in them so I don't want to just stuff something in there.
Thanks.
You don't just stuff something in there or it will be bouncing around. Go to your LHS & get some balancing weights. They are a strip of weights with a sticky back each liitle square is marked so you'll know how many you need to use to get the 2 oz difference your looking for. The plane isn't covered yet so just stick them right to the inside of the last rib then re-check your latteral balance. once you've got it balanced right you could add a little glue or epoxy if you're not real comfortable with the feel of the sticky back stuff on the weights, but go easy with it epoxy is heavy too.
