It looks like a smaller lead weight could be extracted through the hole in the aft spar without removing the balance arm.

Lead weights=2C just because th ey'd be smaller than steel ones? Don't you know that lead is EVIL? The EPA goes to great lengths to protect us from us=2C outlawing lead in gasoline =2C making pilots use 100 -low-lead=2C even so far as requiring handymen=2C remodelers and other such professions to go to training classes before the y work on any house built before 1975 because they might have lead based pa int in them. California has protected us from us by outlawing lead balance weights on cars. And you want to fly through the air=2C spreading your evil lead molecules over the peaceful bunnies=2C and Bambi=2C and itty bitty ch ildren? You fiend! Someone should report you to the Society For The Protect ion of Political Correctness before you go rampaging through our delicate p lanet=2C plotting who-knows-what. There's no telling what might happen if t hat lead weight were to fall off your plane=2C and bounce off an elementary school before sliding down a sidewalk in front of a convent=2C and ending up in a pond. That lead weight might leach out its lead into the aquifer=2C and might poison millions of people. Somebody stop this man before he d igs an oil well or builds a coal-fired electrical plant!!! It's bad enough that Cessna=2C Beech and Piper use lead balance weights=2C now he wants to contaminate a Zenith. Oh=2C the humanity............. (Obviously=2C I don't have much to do today.) Yeah=2C it would work pretty good.

I guess I will be able to also get to the counter-weight bolts to remove ailerons.
