I started building this kit on the weekend, and am wondering if anyone has any idea of how much weight it will take to keep this from tail sitting?
Also any suggestions as to where to hide the weight will be appreciated.
Thanks Ted

You might try running down to your local Auto / Motorcycle Parts shop and having a look at "Tape Weights" for wheel balancing. They are pretty low profile and can be disguised fairly easily to look like something that belongs in the aircraft. You can place then on the inside top or bottom of the forward cockpit area ?

Thanks for the idea Chuck. I may try that. There is a guy that actually sells weights for different aircraft that from what they told me on another forum are designed to fit into obscure places. Reasonably priced to. But for the time being, I think I will try your idea. Thanks again.
