Default RE: Adding weight to Nose Heavy Tower

You probably don't own this plane. Good suggestion to epoxy the weights at the rear bay of the Tower Trainer, but the fuselage is laser cut light ply with many lightening holes cut along the sides. If Tower Hobbies just kept the sides as solid balsa, we probably wouldn't have to add the additional weight at the tail. Had place sick on weights at the tail too with a Supertigre GS-40 installed up front.

Had an Hobbico Avistar ARF, it balanced right out of the box.

It's a simple fix to make a hatch
if you have the tools already..iron, scrap wood, scrap covering.

Me..If i had to add weight to the tail...I would just take a drimel to the reaest bay of the fuselage
and expoy the wieght on the inside. Then just cover it back .

But I'd probably move the servos back first if i had to.

Then I'd probably add those light weight non aluminum landing gears and make it a tail drager first..just to keep the .46 TH on it.
Becuase I would probably slap a 12oz tank in it too

You can always get bigger piano wires...but nah.
