The weight toward the tips provides an interial resistance to roll.
That means the ride is a little smoother as the wing has greater
resistance to differential vertical gusting across the wingspan. It
is the same principle that tightrope walkers use by carrying a long
heavy pole.

Also helps stabilize the glider in a spin.

Hmmm... I don't think so. Twin jets are noted for more severe spin
characteristics.
