Ed, I apologize for being so vague. I didn't mean to imply that "all" counter balance weights were on the ends. But, actually the same as Ed indicated. The word "effectively" was a poor choice of words. However, the aircraft that I built came with weights and most of the weight was at the ends. The aircraft had a canard.
