So is this just a nylon screw that plugs the hole? You fill it with lead shot?

Yes Gary, I’ll probably try regular BB’s first cause they’re less messy.  The cavity was made large enough that the needed weight should be reached without having to resort to lead.

Great idea.  Hope you don't mind, but I plan to steal it for my project I plan to build next year.  Its neat and clean and I like it!

I used to buy those ply tip weight boxes, and glue them all together.  Lately, I have simply used a scrap block of balsa, about 1" square.  Drill a 1/2" hole partly through and glue it in the wing.  Finish with a ply cover.  It holds some .45 caliber lead balls from my muzzleloader rifle.  I can add or remove the lead.  Simple, fast, and no cost.
