A-40 insights?
I've been winging it, holding an original next to the lathe and copying into wood. Didn't have '40 lips at first so I used pikie lips. Now that I have the right tin, where are they weighted? Can't tell with the plastic ones.  |

I took a vintage wood apart and found no weight at all .. I stripped the plug down to repaint no belly weight and no tail weight .. Although I think there were some that were tail weighted.. Capesams knows .. Where is the old grumpy fart ?

I remember the thread with the tailweighteds. I think that they were trollers. I made one of birch and another of AYC. The AYC swims good never got the chance with the Birch, but it seemed weighty, which could be good in a breeze I guess.
