Default PW-5 longitudinal pitch oscillation

So I increased the ballast weight in the PW-5 from parachute + 20 pounds to parachute + 40 pounds. The pitch stability increased noticeably, i.e. uncommanded nose-down excursions diminished.

Thanks all; I've enjoyed reading about model gliders and changes upon entering thermals.
