So after installing it I reassembled the plane to check the CG and it's still behind the back of CG by 1/4". So I had a 3lb weight and with that it goes to the middle point of the CG.

So I need to decide If I'm going with the 3lb or stay with the 2lb. It flew ok with the 2lb just needed some down trim and now it will need less
Can you make an aluminum bracket to extend the weight forward, you might need less ??

Something like one of these?
