RE: CA'd control horns accidentally
I vote to stay with what you have until you are forced to change it. Add as much lead to the nose as you need for the initial flights and then start taking it out until the plane flies like you want it to. You may find it is not really as tailheavy as you thought. Only when you have established the cg position for your style of flying would I consider any kind of surgery on the plane to make it lighter.
