Guys,
I realized after I wrote the attached note, that I may not have remembered the Carbon Dragon tail weight correctly. I was working on my old HP-18 sailplane at the time and I think the tail weight for it was 12 pounds. I can't remember the tail weight for the CD. Gary Osoba will probably remember.
