ASW 15 Wings
« on: 16 August 2007, 03:25 »
Hi Folks!

A friend who owned and flew an ASW15 a few years ago told me recently that apart from the root and the air brakes, ASW15 wings are the identical to those of the ASW19.  Is this true?  Sailplanedirectory.com states that the '19 was designed with a thinner areofoil than its predecessor but lists the same wing sections for both gliders.  Anyone have a definative answer?

Regards,

Clive.

(I have a share in a '19! :whistle: )

It´s true from aerodynamical view.
Same Profile, same layout.
But the inner parts are difffrend.
