An enclosure (100) for carrying an adjustable payload (150). The enclosure (100) is beneficially used on a rotorcraft blade or other similar structure. The enclosure (100) has a first element (104, 106) having a first flange (124, 126) and an upper element (102). The first element (104, 106) has an upper surface (170) which has a first angle (160) with respect to a lower surface of the first flange (124, 126) in a direction extending from an inboard direction to an outboard direction. The upper element (102) has a lower surface (172) which has a second angle (158) with respect to an upper surface (114) of said upper element (102) in a direction extending from an inboard direction to an outboard direction, the lower surface (172) being in contact with the upper surface (170) of said first element (104, 106), the second angle (158) being in a direction which is opposite to the direction of said first angle (160). The first element (104, 106) and the upper element (102) define a cavity for holding a payload (150).
