It puzzles me that so many glider pilots cannot solve basic problems
without resorting to alcohol or booze!! Duh, simply use boiling water for
ballast and you can safely (?) extend your stay above the freezing level
by at least 10 minutes .

I know, I know, you're probably asking yourself, "Why didn't I think of
that?".

Of course, you could put an electric heater in the fin tank. That would
give you yet another reason to install two 25AH (14V?) batteries.
