| Heinrich Dorfmann | West Wings Topaz | Parked | 22-Sep-12 16:24 |  | | Views : 818 | | I needed a lot of weight, so I added an additional 1/4" (6mm) bulkhead to the front with a small weight chamber. Probably doped the elevator and fin too much. |

| Heinrich Dorfmann | West Wings Topaz | Parked | 16-Sep-12 09:43 |  | | Views : 924 | | As is evident from this picture, fin and elevator is not really straight. I wonder whether this will ever be a good flyer. I still have to add wind shields and do some balancing, it is now tail-heavy. |

I wonder how everybody else is doing that - surely they put the rubber in before covering …? Weight is now 48 grams with rubber. |
