Hi, I used "coffin" fishing ledger weights, they are flat and fitted nicely in the front compartment, available from all good tackle shops! and denser than a load of lead shot. The CoG on the plan is 89mm behind the front of the former F4, my current model I built about 10 years ago and it weighs 190g all in and floats beautifully across the local playing field. My original Caprice I built in 1970 and we launched it standing on a stile in a field and we watched it disappear down the fields and over the woods, never to be seen again .... have fun

Hi, just got my model bits and pieces out of the loft, they have been there for 15 years ... I built another KK Caprice, and a KK Conquest, in 2001 and they flew as beautifully as my original caprice did in 1972 (or thereabouts). I bought some r/c gear and built a Balsacraft Coyote, and a West Wings Beguine, but have never flown them, I lost touch with my mate who was going to teach me after he moved abroad. I like building, so I bought a Balsacraft Bristol Blenheim and started that but it is nowhere near finished but the kit is complete and as near perfect as the day I bought it back in 2003. I thought I might sell it all but imagine my surprise when I found out that the Blenheim seems to be a bit of a rarity - should I finish the build? Should I keep it as it is? Dilemma, and then I found this website so thought I would say hello ... cheers, Barry. PS I live a mile away from the Woodspring Wings "airfield" in Yatton near Bristol, maybe someone would like to fly my models for fun?
