Underweight for R22

Hi
Doing my PPL(H) at the moment, and have done a bit of solo.

My trouble is, I'm only just over 8 stone (112 lb), so have to add extra weight to the helicopter (R22). Even with the extra weight, (added under my seat), I still feel uncomfortable controlling the helicopter due to it feeling so light, and with the cylic almost at arms length. This is still the case with full fuel.

Flying duel, I don't have any trouble, it feels heavier, and more 'in balance'

Could I also put weights under the empty passenger seat to help?

If anybody has any suggestions, pleaseeee could you let me know?!
