Subject: Re: Unbalanced wing question..Please Help Me
mmmcerveza -
I just finished a bug with a launch peg, and wanted to share a
helpful hint on wing balancing - MOUNTING TACK. I keep a big wad of
it in the tool box and at the field for adjustments / ballast - but
3M makes a good brand. It's a stretchy sticky and relatively heavy
gum used to tack notes to walls, etc. - I spread about a gram of it
out on the opposite wing tip and the bug is balanced.
Regards - Trizz
