Where to put the weight???????
RC LANDER F9 PANTHER. I am running the six cell set up I have the two 3300 mAh batteries up front on the F9 and she needs about 3 1/4 OZ in the rear to make her just alittle bit nose heavy. Where have you guys been putting the lead??? Can it go inside the thrust chaber?? Or should it go out side???? Thanks. Eric

RE: Where to put the weight???????
From what you have written, I'm under the impression your F9F is very nose heavy.
The easiest fix is to move the battery packs aft but if that's not possible, then adding ballast is the only option. You might want to consider using rosin core solder that comes on a spool as it's very flexible and easily shaped to fit anywhere. The least noticeable location would be inside the duct, attached to the inner circumference, as far aft as possible.
