lesthegringo Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Building this and have got to the point where I need to put the nose on, and have seen that it recommends no less that 40g of weight in the nosecone. Yikes! That sounds an awful lot, I'm not convinced I have that much lead, let alone know where I'm going to put it all. Is this really needed, because if so I am going to need to visit a gun shop to buy some lead shot, and that won't be a five minute trip Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 On both my builds I've filled the radome with lead shot held in place with PVA glue, as long as you fill the radome with some sort of weight you'll be ok. Muzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesthegringo Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Thanks, Muzz Found a shop selling fishing weights of different sizes, so used those and the white glue trick, with a polystyrene disc with holes n it glued over the top to make sure it stays there. Here's hoping it's enough Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 A bit late but thought I'd add this for the reference of others... Left over Euro coins from Holiday. €0.10 fits perfectly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I go to the local tyre fitting shop ( I work next door ) and the lovely Kylie gives me the old tyre balancing weights the fitters have removed. These are conveniently marked with the weight on them and are free . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
