Weight & Balance Complete!

Finished adding the weights for the weight & Balance.

Model weighs: 5.8oz ready to fly

Some photos of how I added the weight:

Lead package of fishing weights. I have a big order of lead tire weights that have stick back; are on the way:

Used tape to close the little door created to add the weights. Used super glue to stick them to the cardstock/balsa mount.

After a 9-hour run at a new design, first print is complete, now to build the latest Rubber Band Power Model:

P51-D
22" Wing Span

However won't be able to do any modeling until late Mon or Tuesday.

Flying to Fairbanks in a few to go watch the start of the 2020 Iron Dog snow machine race.

Son-in-law is racing this year! Temple/Spain Team.

Dressing for the outside in Fairbanks means lots of layers.
