Default how much weight for cg is to much

A friend of mine called and said that he was trying to balance his plane
All the info he was able to give me was it is a bipe and the wing span is about 54 inches.
the plane weighs 10lbs without the motor which he got from me about 3 weeks ago
The motor is a saito 150 I know it weighs 30oz without spinner or prop.
He was saying that it will take 1 3/4 lbs in order to get the cg ???
Since I have never had to use that much weight before I could not answer his question with out seeing the airplane.
He says that he is balancing it correctly any ideas because I am sure lost on this one
Would this amount of weight be ok it seams like way to much to me
