Is the accepted want to add nose weight to balsa cones just to add washers under the shoulder? I'm gonna need upwards of 1/2 ounce (hopefully not more but who knows at this point) on my IRIS-T. How many washers is practical, and how do you secure them?
I was thinking about drilling into the shoulder and filling the hole with epoxy/lead shot, although given space limitations that would only cover part of my needed weight, so I figure I'll still need washers to go with it. Also, my first attempt at drilling into a balsa nose was a bit of a fraught experience, I'm a little nervous about it.
