ballasting with integral tanks by Flavio Formosa
I remember having once seen on 'Soaring' an article about a clever (albeit complicate) ballasting system designed for an LS6, where water came from the mains supply, but with a vertical spill pipe of a precise length inserted between the supply and the glider, to avoid exceedingly high pressure and...

Works fine to avoid that pilots fly back and forth between two nearby turnpoints e.g. along mountain ridges. We feel however that it is not reasonable to apply this "anti yo-yo" restriction...
