All, looking to setup some sort of ballast system in a scratch-built 3-Meter ship that is like a Supra. I have plenty of room in the pod under the wing and would like to glue in 2 bulkheads and a tube or two of some sort to put slugs in. Trouble is, I don't know of any place to get the tubes or slugs, nor do I know what size to get.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

The Boston Centerless site will help you calc the slug sizes.

Post 662 will help you with weight requirements.
