I can@t help with the boxes etc 'cos I am building a
classic. Regarding the weights, yes that is what I
plan to do once I have painted my ailerons. The only
point to watch is taking out too much lead near the
rear of the weights and the whole thing becoming
rather floppy! A remote possibility perhaps.
