Default In a loop, the plane rotates to the right.

Well, a little delayed. I was tuning a new pipe and adjusting the mixture screw when bazzzzzzap. Nailed my finger with the prop. Lucky it was at idle. Blood all over the place, TX, wing, driveway, carpet, 2 towels! Cut my L index finger to the bone. Just plane stupid carelessness!
Anyway, finger all bandaged up, I flew with the extra PB on the L wingtip. Loops are much better. A slight tendency to roll out in the opposite direction. I will remove some of the PB, and I'm sure it will fix it completely.
This was more of a guesstimate, for the amt of weight. Holding the spinner and aft end of the fuse, I tried to make the sides fall evenly. Hardly accurate. Is there a better way?
