Ever find out too late that your plane is a tail-sitter? I did with my Black Cat Catalina. Good thing I applied cement sparingly to the canopy, so removing it was easy. Estimate the amount of lead it will take to get the nose down by piling it on top. Next, cut the lead into small pieces (about half a grain of rice). Then, in a small container, douse the lead bits with Elmer’s white glue and mix thoroughly. Now quickly work them past the cockpit into the fuselage, holding it almost vertically and making sure the lead pellets land where you want them. When the glue dries, the pellets will remain where they are and your bird will stand on its own.
