Wayne, pack as much weight up front as you possibly can, I thought I had it covered on mine but I was nowhere near.
Mine sits back on its tail like I have put no weight at all in the nose.

Though I am sure you won't do anything as silly as that Master Jedi !
 
Should be able to get back on this now, back from Japan and the secret distraction which was to do a quick build and present Shinpachi with an A6M5 zero from the movie The Eternal Zero. It was the least I could do for his kind offer to show us Osaka and kyoto.
 
Yep, he loved it.

now i need to shake a leg on this one...Fuselage assembled today and rudder added,, superglued some spots and added some plasticard to a bit of a gap when i just could not get the fit of the upper cockpit section pus some internal strengthening strips...

I figured early on in the piece you must have been doing something like this Wayne, lovely gesture and glad he liked it.

Good to see you back in the saddle and cracking on with the Canberra.
 
Thanks Guys, much appreciated.

Got some heavy duty weights in the nose area behind the cockpit and added a crude plasticard barrier to make sure they stay in place....lots of superglue doing the job. I figure there is about 140 grams in total now in the nose area.
