JASCO Thermic 36 all-balsa free flight glider

This project has been kicking around the shop for 3 years and I finally got the urge to carve that huge plank into a wing. The plans don't say anything about hollowing out the fuselage pod, but I sure wish I had. I got nervous about my wood selection for the tailboom so a tapered carbon fiber tube was imbedded down its length.
9.35 grams of solder was screwed to the nose to balance, so I need to try and lighten the tail...somehow.
