Default question about CG and using weight

I read a aticle lastnight on the SPA site about blancing your plane, so I tried there idea this morning and it seemed to work well.

My question was do you think 46.8grams is a lot of weight to add to one side of the airplane to get the wings level?

This would be the left side, opisite from the muffler. I added some weight to the tail also to where it looked about level maybe a tiny bit nose heavy but barly. it was way nose heavy, I added I guess about the same to the tail to get it there. I hope it flys better.

I do not know if i should temp. put the weight on the wing or not, should I wait to fly it with the changed cg weight first? then ad the side to side weight?

What you think ?
