Re: [Aus-soaring] electric self launch

Hi Mathew It is inevitable that pilots will self-launch in the ASG 32 El although the A/C is not certified for it. When the ASG 32 El is fully ballasted (to 850 kg) the 27kW (36 hp) motor will be marginal and I’m sure the Schleicher flight manual will warn against this practice. The 2m/s

Re: [Aus-soaring] JS3

Hi Roger The weight of the inner panels on the ASH 30 Mi is similar. Schleicher has put the airbrakes in the inner panels which made them considerably longer and heavier compared to the inner panels on the ASH 25. I agree, you best use a rigging aid but the outer panels are surprisingly

Re: [Aus-soaring] [gfaforum] RE: water bags and tanks

Hello Justin, hello everyone I can add to this discussion by reporting on the effects of an asymmetrically ballasted glider. During my Pik 20 days one water bag got twisted which all but stopped the dumping of water from one wing and resulted in the opposite wing being about 50 kg heavier.

Re: [Aus-soaring] [gfaforum] RE: water bags and tanks

Good morning “D” It appears that you have indeed looked in the wrong places. By looking at “Advanced Soaring Made Easy” you would have found the following: Pilots new to water ballast should realise that partly ballasted gliders tend to create problems on take off due to sloshing of water.
