nice work, but is a tail sitter?

Very little space at front. Put in right amount of weight indicated in the instructions but just short it seems.

always put more, you can still correct this, you know the little fishing-lead balls, drill a a hole in the rear bulk of the front nose gear, then block the model vertical nose down with e.g. Lego, pore in some wood glue and then push i some little balls, after 24 hrs try it out if it stand if not repeat, if ok, let it all dry for 48 hrs or so, glue a thin piece of plasticcard over the hole and finished.

Looks good but a bit late to add weight inside. But maybe a bit of lead sheet added into the nosewheel bay might fix it?

A bit annoyed. Happily on the window sill I have it on at the mow can rest the tail so it looks fine. Might make a stand for it at some point though.
