IrishGreek Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Hello all, Curious if anyone has built this kit, and if they had to put nose weight (and how much)? I am thinking probably, since it since high on that nose wheel. But the directions have no weight call out to let you know. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I built it. Put in nose weight. Couldn't tell you how much (don't have a scale). But it worked! Just filled the nose forward of the cockpit with bird shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sleepy Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 If it has three gear legs it gets nose weight, period. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, then, you've waisted a lot of lead/steel/depleted uranium on every Phantom kit you've built. Or F-100. Or F-101. Or F-102. Or F-104. Or F-105. Or F-106. Or F-15. Or F-18. Don't tell me you put nose weight into the three-legged P-51. Seriously, there are very few kits of modern aircraft that require nose weight. I'm still not sure it was needed in the Demon.
