Hey it may work...

Here's an example of it in an aircraft, see the photo below of a Rotorway Exec light helicopter. Notice the "tip" on the far (right) skid? That is actually a weight. When you are flying without a passenger it goes there. If you flying with a passenger it fits over the white pipe right behind the cabin under the boom.

On the skid it is enough to counter weight the missing weight of a passenger. On the back it's along the centerline and has not impact. It weighs 24 lbs but because of its location along the arm counteracts the missing weight of a 200lb person in the passenger seat.
