RE: need to help with balance.
Lateral balance will show up in your loops drifting towards the heavy side. I stack coins - as Gary mentioned - over the aileron servo and once it balances I pull the servo and tape the coins (or sheet lead if required) to the servo case. Better to add it at the wing tip but that requires stripping the covering.
Another tip is to insert nails in the light wing tip leading edge and epoxy them in.
