Bob H Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I need two steel rods, one 6ozs and one 11ozs to fit into the wing tube for windy days. Where can I buy the steel rod, what diameter, and how do I stop it moving in the winf tube ? Please ? Grateful any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plummet Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 What diameter? B&Q sell various sized pieces of various metals. Can you fill in the rest of the wing tube with balsa or foam? Plummet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Houghton 1 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Just use wooden dowl spacers to fill the gap, thats usually what is provided whenyou buy a ballast kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatMc Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 B&Q sell the 8m studding that's recommended in the EG pro instructions. It's quite cheap & 30cm of it weighs 90g. I use it occasionally but my model has a 3542 motor, 3s 2200 lipos with both steel balls on the tail for balance so it will cope with most moderate slope winds anyway.
