The lake also has this problem and they have weights
that they slide in and out of compartments in the front and rear.

Ken,
I thought of a movable weight some time ago but looks like someone beat me
to it. My thought was a tube with the weight internally or externally of the
tube, with the weight being slid backwards and forwards, as and when
required, operated by a trim wheel system.

Nat Puffer used such a system when he was testing the Cozy-IV effect
of CG on stalls and flat stalls.
