squeaking and creaking wings

[MusicCity]

Hi all,

On my first flight in several months I seemed to notice more squeaking and creaking from the wings, mostly around the wing roots.  I don't know if it was my imagination or not--or possibly the relatively high level of humidity, or what.  I was up for four hours and stopped paying attention to it after a while.  I'm not sure if it diminished or I just stopped paying attention.

Any insights from fellow ASW15B pilots would be appreciated.

Thanks

I noticed that too and I think it is some minimal friction between the pen and fork of the wing roots. At that place I see some worn paint. After a overhaul the squeeking is significant, but now its almost gone.

thanks, Johan.

Is your glider rigged all the time or do you operate it out of the trailer?

Mine is rigged and I have had that issue too. I not pull the pins and grease them once every while and that helps a great deal.
