The standard procedure at the factory was to get an amount of lead shot
the weight you wanted to add. Mix it with some epoxy resin and pour it
into the tubes. Like it set and away you go.

Maybe better would be loose lead shot with a plug of plaster on top
that you can remove if you would like to make the tail lighter when a
smaller pilot owns it.

I have a DG300 that has two tubes fiberglassed into the tail along the
verticle stabilizer hinge line. These tubes are roughly 1" in diameter.
According to the book it is for tailweight. The manual does not seem to
explain how to use this feature or how to secure the weights. First
impression is a lead bar similar to the old window sash bars. But how
do you secure them so they do not move around? Thanx for any light you
can shed
