Default RE: Balancing a Trainer

I don't believe that a well engineered trainer that has passed all preliminary testing before committing it to mass production should require much [if any] lead if the end user has installed the recommended equipment and has positioned that equipment with respect to the final outcome.
A well thought out flat bottom design would give the end user the ability to move the wing fore and aft to obtain the ideal CG, without resorting to lead.
