Do a weight and balance where you add a few pounds to the extreme end of the tail boom and see. With that much moment arm, it will only take a few pounds at most. I would be surprised if it took more than 3 or 4.
Just be sure and placard it so that no one less than xxx number of pounds ever tries to fly it. My buddy Ed had a Hummer that was balanced for him, and a prospective buyer took it for a flight. Problem was that Ed weighed 250 and the buyer weighed ~ 175 - it was a wonder he got it back on the ground safely.
