A4 Skyhawk

[Ian M]

Bit late now but a good way around that problem, THAT WE HAVE ALL TRIED, is to drill a hole on the bottom and fill the nose with shot and hold it together with PVA or super glue. Mind the super glue though, it can get hot if there is a lot in one place. PVA is safer but takes forever to dry in a closed space...

Once its dry, just fill the hole and sand smooth.

I have now done this three time and finds it gives a good result.

The skyhawk is looking good buy the way. Almost forgot to say that!

Thanks for the tip Ian luckily i cut through a panel line on this one but will definitely use your shot method next time

OUCH! we've all done that! Great recovery though Ian , tony

Nicer recovery on the nose weight Ian.

Another way around that problem is to put weight in the front of the under wing drop tanks.
