I'm also moving the battery out from under the fuel tank and putting it under the engine. ( haven't figured out how to hold it there yet)

Thanks for the pics John, Thats what I'm thinking for the battery, just have to make it fit the space available...

I may mix a little epoxy and compare the weight to the weight of the screws that are holding the tail in. I realize it wont be much different but the fact its way out on the tail is an unknown factor. ( to me anyway) . Or I'll pull my vanessa balancing scale out and balance without the screws then just place the screws on the tail and see how much they affect the balance.. may be splitting hairs here but I think performance is almost acceptable, just looking for a little more... Alll part of the fun!!!
