At the expense of showing my ignorance, why is the tailplane balanced as
it is? i.e. with the pivot point well forward of the c of g which
necessitates a balancing weight. Could it not have been designed with
the pivot point at the position of the c of g so no weight would be
needed?

It would be interesting to know just how much lead would be needed to
balance the tailplanes in this way...
