I recently purchased an LS7. *On days when I eat only a light breakfast, I'm awfully close to the lower limit of 165lbs for weight and balance purposes. There is a vertical post way forward near the nose that is set up to accommodate a stack of 2.5kg / 6lb ballast/trim blocks, but these unfortunately did not come with the ship. *Does anyone know of a source for these? Thanks, Jordan This sounds like the same set up in our LS4. Is there an LS4 nearby? Try a test fit. Ours came with 3 blocks that stack on the single post. The bottom block is shaped to fit the fuselage curves. You could find some old tire weights to melt down, form a mold that fits and make one. Be sure to mark the weight and make an annotation somewhere of the custom ballast weight and CG effects. T |
