Halcyon Nostromo

[Birdie]

Is it me, or is the Nostromo top-heavy?

I don't want to glue it to a base, but if you try and sit it on the tripod landing gear, the weight of the engines capsize it :angry

Anyone else had this problem?

Ya gotta weight the nose.

Wish I'd thought of that before I built it.

I always thought it was mentioned in the instructions. I can't check mine though as they're in storage at the moment.

Instructions?

I found one of mine that was close to hand. The Instructions show an arrow pointing to the forward section with the text "weight 70g".

I take it yours didn't come with an instruction sheet?

Yeah it did, but I managed to lose it.

Hi Birdie, this article may help with the nose weight issue....http://www.hyperscale.com/2010/features/ta4jdwa_1.htm.

Your pics are a little blurry, but looks like a good build of the Nostromo. That's about the only one of the Halcyon kits I don't have (...oh and the power loader!).

Cheers, JT
