The
ASW-28 is a nice scale reproduction of the T-tail glider produced by
the German company A. Schleicher, Flugzeugbau, currently in production.
It is the constant evolution of the ASW series and is the new standard class
glider superseding the ASW-24. Improvements are triple taper leading edge and high aspect ratio
winglets.
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 a highly prefabricated kit, the model comes fully
moulded, and ready for radio installation. Only a few hours are required, before
you go to the field. The wings are hollow moulded, with carbon and glass
reinforcement. With a high gloss surface finish and control surface pre-cut and
live hinged. It features flaps and ailerons control. Standard airbrakes are
already installed. The winglets are hollow moulded Fiberglas. The high gloss,
gelcoated fiberglas fuselage has the wing joiner carrying tubes installed. The
canopy is fitted to its frame and painted. Tail surfaces are also hollow moulded
and are finished. A small hardware package and short building instructions are
completing the kit. Retractable landing gear is not included and may be
purchased separately.
