Don our LS 4 has lead added above the tail wheel just forward of the
rudder.You have to remove the rudder to get it out.

I completed a weight and balance on my LS-4 and want to put
additional weight in the rear. The weight and balance included the
5.5 lb battery that is in the tail. Anyone have any advice or
experience?

My tailwheel is filled with lead. Works fine for me.

There are brass wheels available commercially from Tost (2kg with
tire)http://www.wingsandwheels.com/page32.htm

I may also make some molded lead weights and glass them in at the top
of the stab. Or lose some body mass...

Don't know exactly what you mean by "glass" them in? I see the brass
wheel - a little pricey. Do you mean that you put lead in the actual
wheel? I hear that replacing the tail battery with more than the
original 5.5 lbs is risky?
