TLC rectified this with the Flash Speeder, providing a few of the 2x2 rounded
bottom pieces (also seen in 6441 and other boats) to amke the Flash Speeder
"float".

I think the LandSpeeder floats higher than that.  What I use is a 2x2 brick -
I've got some transparent ones from old Lego sets, but you could just pick a
colour to match the shelf you sit it on.  You have to put it on the
centreline, exactly below the two seats.

Similarly, for the SnowSpeeder, you need a 2x3 brick to balance it.  Place it
on the centreline again, with the back pair of studs just ovelapping the rear
cross-member.

Both of these will balance the model, however far you tip it.

Jason.
