Looking for a good way to provide 100% counterbalancing for tube and fabric elevator construction. Nobody seems to worry about it for 100 MPH aircraft. So, I can't find good examples to follow

I can think only about one option where elevator would be made out of aluminum tubing. Trailing edge tube can be made longer to except lead weights.
