Default RE: Taildragger Landing Technique

Being a bit realistic - this being the beginner's forum the priority should be flight characteristics ahead of cosmetics. Truth be known, I am truly anal about how my planes look! Also, my 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th planes do not exist any more. That really pains me to say.

Like others told me - just get her flying well and then fly the heck out of her. As your flying skills improve you may decide that you need 1/2 oz on the left wing to get a good lateral balance - cut-n-epoxy another tab of lead. You tear off a LG - oops - recover. Oops, hanger damage. Somewhere along the line you will have an opportunity to move the battery and or servos back and get rid of the lead.
