RE: adding weight?
The best thing to do and the most difficult is move anything forward that you can and then remove weight from the tail. You would be surprised what can be done here. On my last project that came out tail heavy, I replaced all the steel hardware in the tail with aluminum hardware. I even made an aluminum wheel collar for the tail wheel. That and moving my RX battery, moving the motor 1/4" forward fixed the CG and the airplane gained no weight.
