Guys: Lead shot is easily available in several sizes at full service gun shops. Another way to use it is to fill the nose with "just a smig more" than the amount of shot you need. Turn ship nose down and fix it to stay that way. Fill nose with required amount of lead shot. Use either thick AC or a coat of epoxy on top of pile of lead. This will make solid seal for just about 10% of the total amount, the rest still free to move. When set, drill a hole anywhere you want into the lead, from the outside of the fuse. The holes needs to be just a bit bigger than the shot. Now you can remove shot at the field until it is just perfect. Use a small nylon screw to seal hole or a pice of matching tape to close hole. As your reflexes slow down with age, you can add a little more shot to move the CG back forward. %o regards, Jim Ealy AMA Life Member #43
