It's interesting that there's nothing in basic gliding knowledge about this then. Yes, ballast is perhaps not basic but I've seen people with a handful of hours over a C cert. putting ballast in gliders almost as soon as they were endorsed for the type. There's little or nothing in any book or manual I have read on gliding. Maybe I looked in the wrong place.
