Just to clarify something: adding weight to the wheels (or anywhere in the landing gear) really won't affect you COG much if at all since the LG is right under the COG. It might improve stability a little but will not affect COG. If you're tail heavy and need to add weight, move everything (including battery) as far forward as you can or as you need to first, then add weight as needed as far forward as possible. Somewhere near the motor is best. |

Always remember to keep your models as light as possible so you can enjoy longer flight times. Unless for whatever reason you want them heavy (wind or what-not).
P.S. GREAT LOOKING WHEELS!
