Need redesign opinions

[BigShooter]

So, I scratch-built this 40" wing today. But, the problem is that I cant balance it. I dont have enough battery and component weight to get it balanced, and I fear I'd have to add too much dead weight to be practical. So, I have thought about cutting out the nose and making it longer, or, building a "Synapse-type" electronics pod to mount underneath and forward.
What would you do? Construction wise, it came out too nice for me to want to junk it.

Can you cut out the motor mount and move it forward? How about move the servos farther forward?

I thought about cutting out the motor area; but, there is a fiberglass spar right at the back of it. The servos are actually on the CG line and up to the main spar, and at 9grams, I dont think they will help any farther forward. Right now, two 2200mah 3s batteries won't balance it all the way to the nose. I am leaning towards adding 4" to the nose.
