CG Trimming after Tail Boom Repair
You should investigate the potential of some ballast hidden somewhere in the tail. Or perhaps your CG calc's and/or measurements. A boom repair should not require that much ballast in the nose to get the empty airframe in CG range.

I have seen boom repairs just short of having 2x4s inside, so if it is one of those, that much lead in the nose may be indeed required. Uli 'AS'

Still, my vote for the top price for the most terrible repair would go to a Ka6e with a Bondo'ed on cuff over one side of the all-flying elevator after an off-field landing mishap. I wonder how much lead in the nose that one required - provided a W&B was even done after that 'repair'. Uli 'AS'
