if you know a machinist he can whip them up pretty easy. All you need is a grinder. I have been doing mine like that since I started but I made mine in several sizes and the pilot part has no flutes just a ground 5/32 dia. which follows my thru hole. Works great and i sometimes only use a hand drill. I can't imagine doing it any other way. Pretty sure Mike has them made for the belly hole and the counter bore ground onto them for grommet seating, same idea would be used for tail weight. If you ground down the drill to 5/32 pilot there would not be any flutes left so it would just be a dia.

Alas - I don't have that kind of machinist contact around here. Since the pilot part of the one I pictured is removable I'm just going to flip the bit 180 to get the smooth thing. I've been doing my through holes in 1/8 so it should work for me.

you may find that your hole will quickly fill with chips as that type of thing is meant to drill on an angle and in that case the chips fly out freely. So go a little at a time, you'll see.
