You definitely should not need that. I am using a DLE 55 with the 4 cell 2000NIMH ignition battery on the engine box. I run two 5cell 2300NIMH that are up by the tank. My plane balanced fine and flies great.

RE: GP PITTS M12 50cc BALANCING
There are variances from kit to kit, but I doubt a 2 pound chunk is needed.
Without re reading the manual is there an option to put the rudder on pull pull or is located in the rear?
I asume its balanced upright on the top wing, with measurement near the fuse, not wing tip??
EDIT read the manual
If you go 6.5 , will it even come close to balancing, upright, inboard on top wing??
