Default Mud Duck modifications??

It seems that most Mud Duck's require additional weight in the nose for proper CG location. Anywhere from 8 - 18 oz. I was wondering if anyone has tried to lengthen the nose or extend the motor mount to over come this. I realize that the extra weight is not detrimental to its flight characteristics, but I'm from the old school and believe in building as light as possible. If someone has done this, how far forward is required?

Next question - have ailerons been installed on the Mud Duck II. I'll bet someone has done this and would like to see some documentation.

Thanks, Ron
