Default RE: Best Way to Add Weight to the Front of Your Plane


ORIGINAL: FalconWings10

I hate adding weight to a plane, however, after I've built the tail as light as I can and moved the electronics as far forward as possible, I still need more weight. How are you guys fixing the problem. (Oh by the way, I've put a bigger motor in the front)
How much weight are you talking about being short on the nose? Did you temporarily add lead to the nose to determine the weight you're looking for to balance the plane? If it's more than 2 ounces, Higley nut isn't going to do it, the Sub C batteries will. Usually near the fuel tank there is room for battery packs on the side or bottom of the tank, are you that far forward with your battery?
