Hi Phil,
Very few Europas need any ballast weight at all. Do you ask the question
for a particular reason? If, and only if, you require ballast it will only
be in the order of 1 to 5 lbs. If you need more than that then something is
wrong with your build. Once more, if you require weight, it is normally
fitted to the bolt that secures your tail wheel extension spring (XTW 06) at
the rear of the fuselage.
Regards
Pete

Subject: Europa-List: Balance weights
About to get my mono wheel weighed and balanced. 2 questions - where is the
best place to fix the weights. I thought of fixing some flat sheets of lead
to the stern post but wondered if it's strong enough or may be each side of
the tail wheel spring.
While I appreciate that each build is different can anyone give me a range
of ballast weights I will expect to need. At this stage I don't know whether
to cater for 3lbs or 30lbs of ballast.
Thanks in advance.
