If I could get enough water in the wings of an ASW22 that is limited to a MTOW
of 750kg...
Could I fly it at 850kg under an experimental category glider within the GFA,
at an AUS Open Class Nationals?
Cheers,
WPP

Hi Adam
You don't need to go experimental, mate! The later ASW 22 models are already
approved for 850 kg.
I'm just a little worried that the ASW 22 might be a little too slippery for
you.
Kind regards
Bernard

Still shows 750 for the BL and 810 for the BLE on the Scheleicher
website, Bernard.
In any case I think Adam is talking about the early ASW22 not the B.

I'm a Schempp-Hirth fan, through true - but I can't let that get in the way
of the ASW22BLE (now a poor mans open class glider), a glider I've always
dreamt of owning!
You heard it first here Bernard :)
Sadly the ASW22 that is for sale (at AU$70k landed in AUS), is sn29, so a small
wingspan
Well you could fly something that looks like one but isn't.
Buy ASW22.
Make molds from it.
Build glider in those molds.
Nothing to stop you using pushrods, hardware etc out of the one you bought.
Call it the AW1 (or Superpuppup).
Put 850 Kg on the gross weight when you apply for the Amateur
I like your thinking Mike :)

June 1984 and water ballasting carries on.
