Sweep the wing forward moving the Mean Effective Cord to match the CG moving forward like they do on the Blanik.

Could some of those weight and balance issues be offset by scalling the entire aircraft just a bit, say 3-5% while keeping the cockpit length close to the original. If you cuold do that the impact of the extra weight forward of the lft center could be just a bit less. How much ballast is usually needed, or is that just the case when the pilot is heavy?
