The ASW-28 is a nice semi-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. Improvements are triple taper leading edge and high aspect ratio
winglets.
This
model is well suited for everyday flying, it does well from a histart
on good thermal days. It has very smooth and predictable handling, on
the slope you will find that it has excellent energy retention. Building
and flying require some skill, thus the designation of intermediate pilot.
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 hollow molded as any other surface (rudder, elevator). Airbrakes are installed
and ready to be connected by the mean of a micro servo in the wing. The high gloss,
gel coated fiberglass fuselage has the wing joiner carrying tubes and the rudder control
tube installed. Retract is installed and functional. A small package hardware and a short
building instruction are completing the kit.
Radio requirements are two micro servos for the ailerons,
and two additional micro servos for the airbrakes. Three regular servos for the elevator,
rudder and retract. An additional servo might be installed for aerotow.
