What did you folks use to safely and securely add weight for the aft CG flight testing?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Cam....

....before putting my buddy in the back, I borrowed an 80# sack of sacrete from a local hardware store and wrapped it in a large green trash bag. We had to stand it up so the stick would clear and strapped it in tighly with shoulder harnesses and lap belt tight. Worked like a charm and gave me an idea as to how to trim for his 160 lbs.

Regards,
