bills,
I'd like to see a picture of what you're talking about. It sounds interesting. Next time you balance a plane, would you post some pics of that setup?
I got this one, I just threw up my combat plane for the pic and the plumb bob string is short but you can get the idea. Just hang the plane and the plumb bob from the same point and the plumb will point right to the place the CG is at, Just put a mark on the wing where the CG is wanted and add till the plumb bob points the mark on the wing.
