Finding lead is easy.

Do you people not think? Weight is not his problem, balance is. Adding a pound of lead at the CG won't do a damn thing for him.
A quick recap - There are two separate discussions going on, so reading comprehension is required.
1.) On the issue of an airplane being "two light", add weight and get back to us.
2.) Moving the wing back on the fuselage will balance the plane. Easy to do when it has a wing tube and simple mounting.
We return you back to your regular programming.
Dumb, dumb. I did not get that is what he meant. You, and he,are correct, moving the wing back would move the required CG back.
Thanks for pointing that out.

Careful guys.
Moving the wing back will move the CG back in relation to the fuselage but it will move it forward in relation to the wing and that is what counts.
Imagine the wing is moved all the way just in front of the fin. Where is the CG then ?
