Default Balancing Spanwise

I got great advice on fixing my nose gear and my appreciative thanks goes out to all those good people out there with their suggestions now on to the question.
This question is still in regard to my Sig LT-40 ARF. Looking to find a way to balance the plane span-wise. When flying the wing still wants to drop to the right or muffler side and no amount of opposite trim has helped. I have taken the plane and removed the glow plug and held the plane by the engine crankshaft at the front and under the center of the fuselage at the rear and the plane shows that it is unbalanced by dropping off on the muffler side of the airplane. Now here is the dilemma, the Sig LT 40 ARF does not have a thick wing tip or leading edge to push any kind of weight into them. So what would you all suggest so I can balance this airplane span-wise? again thanks to all that respond with thier suggestions they are greatly appreciated and if we ever meet I will buy you a beer!!! Thanks
