Phil,
I agree with Peter Jeffers. Really shouldnt require aft ballast unless you have
an unusually heavy engine. Try moving the battery first as you dont want to
haul around dead weight unless absolutely necessary.

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.
