Adjustable Tail Weight

Posted in Equipment, Modifications by phreaticzone on the March 4th, 2006

When I was playing about with weigthing and trim a while back, I came up with the idea of an adjustable tailweight….This was ideal for finding out my exact CoG (Centre of Gravity) when trying to hone my horizontal trim and to balance my rig.

 The best way to find your correct weighting is to get down to say 30bar and strart stripping weight, piece by piece from your weight belt and hand it to you buddy.

 Once you find the weight that is right for you…..get moulding your weight and if your going to use the wifes soup pot…buy a replacement quickly!

 *When melting lead, use protective equipment in a well ventilated area!
