On your Eve 3000 submission, I notice you have the return craft mounted on the side. Is there a second balancing load on the other side?

Yes, even with the large gimbal of the Rhino and the large mass of the craft overall, a counter-weight is needed.
Here's the reverse photo (from the album) - the empty weight of the return craft is ~ 5 tons, which just so happens to be roughly the weight of a full FL-T800, on top of which the ISRU is mounted.
