Default ASW 27 Flight Testing Video Clip

For the last month I have been flight testing the rebuilt ASW 27. The program is going well and I am nearing completion of the required phase 1 testing. I still have max gross weight, final spin testing and a tow test for completion. So far I have only been able to self-launch since no towing is available this late in the season. The twin turbines are working well and provide a solid 600 fpm climb rate at these cooler fall temperatures. The steerable tailwheel is also working well and provided good directional control during takeoff and landing.

Here is a link to a compilation of short clips from the flight test program.
