ASW 28 3m with retract

Product Description

…real one…
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.

…our model…
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, acryl painted fiberglass fuselage has the wing joiner carrying tubes and the rudder control tube installed. Retract is installed and functional. Small package hardware and a short building instruction are completing the kit.

…flying…
This model is well suited for everyday flying; it does well from a histart on good thermal days. Flying is just amazing due to the acceptable wing loading it thermals well without any bad behavior. 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.

Radio requirements:
• two micro servos for the ailerons ( 9mm )
• two additional micro servos for the airbrakes ( 9mm )
• four micro servos ( up to 12mm ) for the elevator, rudder, retract and additional for aerotow
