Uncle Pete Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I've just got stuck in on this fella... I've never built a Lightning before and the plans don't seem to mention a nose weight. Does anybody know if it needs one? The CG so far seems to be forward of the main wheels but I'm not sure if it will stay there once the bits and bobs go on and, if it does indeed need lead, I need to get it in before the nose cone goes on. (Silly me already glued the fuze halves together and will have to drill it out if it needs ballast). I didn't look at the ad carefully enough when ordering and thought it was a 1/72... This thing is tiny. Eyes and fingers are going nuts... Thank heavens there's no cockpit detail since the seat is about the size of a beetle's bedpan!

I guess it's time to pull out the old Black and Decker two speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
