+1 - That's how I balance mine, though I use three scales to make it a little quicker. I started with an article written by a local RC/full scale pilot who also happens to be an aeronautical engineer: A Method for Locating the CG on Model Aircraft

All my numbers go into a Google sheet. The calculations tell me where the plane is in reference to the specified CG.
