Default DG-300 Water Ballast Bags

I asked DG about testing the bags in DG303, 1998 manufacture date, and
they said to just fill them up and see if they hold water! They claim
no problems is water gets inside the wings as they will drain and dry
quickly. I have not tested the bags in my 303 yet but plan to when I
pull it out of winter storage. Pulling them out is my second choice
and appears to be pretty simple.

I don't know how you can find minor leaks without pulling them out.
Other owners can tell you how to do the removal and replacement. Minor
leaks are easy to repair, I think, but hard to find when the bags are in
the wing.
