Default RE: Extreme Flight Edge 540T-E

How much weight are you guys adding to balance this thing? I can push the battery forward enough to balance, but then it's almost completely inside the motor box and not accessible without taking the cowl off. That's not something I really want to do every flight.

I'm having trouble finding anything heavy enough to balance, but small enough to fit at the front of the motor box. The only stick-on weights I've found locally were for pine car derby racers, and they're not lead (maybe zinc or something like that). Anyway, it takes a whole pack of these things to balance it but now the cowl rubs. Have to rearrange a little bit, but may have to add even more weight if I move them far enough aft to clear the cowl.
