Default CG and Lateral Balancing

Hello guys,

I have a RTF Hobbico Superstar MKII trainer. I recently read and I forget where (old age kicking in !!) about trimming.

With CG balancing what can I use to balance the plane ? Where do I put the weight and how should I attach it so not would damage anything inside the plane ? (I guess I can use lead weight's ?)

I also read briefly about lateral balancing. I guess I would balance the fin and I have my son hold the prop to check the balance here, right ?

But, if the the plane tilts, can somebody suggest how to fix the balance on the wing (from what I have read) if it tilts one way or the other ?

Thanks All
