Default RE: Wing loading

I just got done putting in a 10 oz tank. Now my CG is 3/8" to far back. this bites. There is no way to take weight out of the tail. There is not much there to take out to start with. It looks as if I will have to add 4 oz to the fire wall to put the CG right. That will put my plane at 15 lbs and 8 oz. I know that this is going to be hot to land. but I do have flaperons on this plane. If I have them set right will they help me slow down to land it. I have not ever had a plane that I needed flaps. I have some that have them but never used them. I put allot of work in to the plane and it would suck to stop or start all over.

Any and all input would be great

Thanks
Paul
