Default Wing Ballast Distribution

Schleicher made us put 3kg of lead down the inside of the outboard
wing leading edge when we installed Heinzies 26.5 meter 'bent wing
tips' on the ASH-25. They wanted it spread out for a good 10 feet.

I believe it was the Constellation that was bpopping rivets in

LAK-12 has 20lbs in the leading edge of each tip.
