... the essence of beauty and performance This is latest development at Schleicher company,
they just added this new glider of
a new generation family, the ASG, in the 18m class. It is designed by Michael Greiner,
their new design associate and it will be
marketed during year
2006.
This model is excellent for aerotowing, and great for
thermalling, as it has very slow flying ability. Stall is smooth and predictable. Able to
make stable turns without tip stalling. If you have access to a slope that permits you to
fly this glider, the flapped HQ airfoil gives you a very wide speed range with amazing
energy retention. You may even afford aerobatics. This is not a kit, the model comes completely built, and
ready for radio installation. Only a few hours are required, before you go to the field.
The wings are sheetd foam covered with Oracover. Airbrakes are
installed and ready to be connected by the mean of a micro servo in the wing. The
winglets are hollow moulded Fiberglas. The high gloss, gel coated Fiberglas fuselage
has the wing joiner carrying tubes and control linkage installed. Tail surfaces are
finished. A small package hardware and a short building instruction are completing the
kit.
Radio requirements are two micro servos for the
ailerons and two other micro for the airbrakes, two regular servos for the
elevator and rudder. An additional servo might be
installed for aerotow. Optional retract wheel can be installed for perfect scale. Kit content:
- Epoxy glass fuselage with a white epoxy gelcoat.

For
aerotowing, this glider requires a nose tow release sold separately,
this is also a great candidate for electric power, either FES (front
electric sustainer) or pylon. Inquiry for complete power and servo combo package deals. |
