Default ASW22 DB

It's the Eta-Biter, and has many aerodynamic and structural
differences from the stock ASW-22. This was IIRC a joint
effort between Dick Butler and Gerhard Waibel, constructed
in Dick's shop in Alabama. Quite a bit better than stock,
not just a pretty paint job...

Of course, the Concordia will be a big step forward from here !

Best Regards, Dave

What about the asw-22 DB which will participate in the upcoming WGC?

Is it just a "pimped" asw-22, or the famous ETA-killer, constructed
from parts of the asw-27 and some other schleicher gliders and
completely redesigned?

Apart from that it's fun to see so much "new" designs, like the Lak-20,
Antares, ls-10, Diana-II, asg-29 and of course the ETA.
