Kudos to those that picked up on my error. Yes, less weight to balance the
rudder, but weight at a further aft arm for the aircraft CG. In a
private email the builder has adequately located other weights forward,
including using a long engine mount. What awaits is the final weighing of
the aircraft for W&B CG purposes.

Yup, a good dose of thinking is better done before the flying
finger of fate roams the keyboard.

It is true that it is more aft in terms of fuselage
station, but it is
actually closer to the hinge line at the top, and should
require a little
less weight to balance.
