blackbetty Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 i shimmed the pit tub lightly in front to get the sidepanels to fit properly, then i made a spacer to fit the front gear well against the tub it makes slipping it into the recess on the bottom a breeze (this is all just a test fit) Derek B, Greg W, scvrobeson and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 will do, Colin. how much did you add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I did.t mine came into balance "Just" with the Sea Eagles but I'd add 4-6 ounces(or metric equivalent!) but what matters I guess is how you handle the rear Airbrakes , if you add the revised airbrake piece directly and pose it closed it will tail sit - since it's solid resin, however if you plan to build the operating mechanism and mount it open that you might get away without issues Derek B and blackbetty 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
