Does anyone have nose trim weights for their LS-3 up to LS-10 glider that they do not use and would sell to me? They are 2.45 kg = 5.4 lbs each.

I need TWO more trim weights for the nose of my LS-8 that I can add when I fly and remove when my husband flies.

Thanks.

Not an exact response to the original poster: My LS1-d is tail heavy and needs weight in the nose. Several years ago, an A&P shop built a ballast box per the Technical Note from LS, but made it out of sheet metal rather than fiberglass.

They cut a hole in the floor in front of the instrument panel, again according to the TN.

They bolted the box to the floor. Top of the open box is flush with the floor.

Okay, the ballast box wasn't quite the exact dimensions per the TN, but close. They modified the dimensions so I could get two sealed lead-acid batteries in the box.

Works great. I have room for two batteries. Depending on when and where I buy them, they are 10 ah or 10.5 ah "ballast weights".
