Default "D" conversion and plastic/balsa NC question

Couple minor questions if anyone has any input for me. First, upon retrieval and repair of the tree'ed Cherokee D, I replaced the balsa NC with the plastic version (as the balsa one is still in the tree). Will this create a stibility issue? There is no notation in the plans for the original plastic NC version about addition of weight. Just doing an approximate CG/CP it seems OK, but there has to be a weight distribution difference. Oh well, any thoughts on the subject are appreciated.
Secondly. Finishing up my Estes Vigilante 2-stage clone. Used a CC-Express for both stage BTs, with just a minor cutting down of the booster to correct size. The Vigilante is a C-toC motor setup. The CC Expresss came with D motor mounts. Wondering if I could make me a D motor booster just like the one I have, so I could use both. Would the additional thrust overpower the 3/32 fin stock, or would it be OK as long as I still have a good CG/CP relationship?
Thanks for any input.
