Default lead tail ballast

wrote:
Over the years ,my PIK20D ,not to mention my self ,has gained some
weight.
The cg with me aboard is now located forward of the mid range although
still
within limits.

I would like to add about 6 pounds of lead to the tail to shift the cg
to the rear
half of the allowable range. Anyone know the best way to attach the
lead tail
ballast?

Is there an oxygen bottle tray in the boom as there is in the B model?
If so, could you add weight there? Of course, it would require more than
the 6 pounds that you planned on.
