Default ASK 21 spin ballast installation (OT)

The ASK 21 is widely used around the world (750!),
so it seems

evidence
for this belief should be available. Do you know of
any statistics that
suggest students trained in the ASK 21 are more likely
to have
spin-related accidents while flying other gliders?

I'm guessing they have fewer spin-related accidents
during training, so
one would have to balance any extra risk after training
against the
reduced risk during training.

And the beat goes on...and on. Should we train for
situations that are not
required by the FARs. Seems to me that a FBO would
keep their trainer
around for solo rental and be able to spin it for training.
Ergo spin
weights. The best of both worlds.
