Determining ballast for Imara tug

Posted 3 years ago Sign in to contribute
Hi everyone.
For quite some I have been more of a looker and observer of this fine forum.
The opinion of many member here has helped me enormously with my RC questions.
Recently I got my hands on my favorite tug, The Imara.
I’m very eager to start building her but first, I’m gathering as much information as I can about how to build it.
So far I haven not found a descent building log throughout the web.
My first question is the fact of the ballast.
I’m thinking of adding two lead bars on the keel before any other equipment but I’m not sure of how much weight should I add.
I also understand that the ballast needed is according to what equipment will the model receive.
One thing I’m sure of is that I will use electric motors.
Any guidance from you fellows will be very much appreciated.
Thank You
