Default RE: moving C.G. back......help?

You move things around as much as you can, in order to avoid adding weight. If you get to the point where you still want to change the CG but can't easily/effectively achieve the desired results, you add the weight as close to the end of the tail as you can--or as far forward, if that's the way the CG is going. Why? Because the longer the length of the moment arm, the less weight you have to add.
