    I have just added 15g of lead balls to the nose through a small hole drilled at the front of the fueling probe bay and injected some RC56 glue to hold it in place !

    Some balsa strips on the wheel axles, mounted on an alloy plate for alignment and the legs super glued into the air-frame !

    It won't fit in my display cabinet with both wings on so I've made a small weight to off set the other wing, a bit of paint on the lights !
