any weight added to the tail.. by means other than factory supplied ballast
weights.. should be noted in the forms.. and the min/max placarded weight
limits in the cockpit updated to reflect the change..

you have effectively changed the "empty" weight and CG of the glider.

Is it acceptable practice to put lead in a gliders tail to counter the
weight
of a large pilot?
