Anyone know if the ASH-30 is ever going to come off the drawing
board...? It seems the EB-28 and EB-29 have the "long wing" open
class locked up. The Antares/Nimbus (5?) shorter wing with reduced
wing area at 850kg may prove to be the right combination for Uvalde
2012.



Soon...

Schleicher is working on a nice module system at the moment.
The 32 will be the open-class single-seater version of the 30, and the
33 will be a combination of a slightly shorter 30 fuselage with a 20m
wing very similar to the 31.

I personally think that the wing of the 30 is a tad too bit, not
allowing high-enough wing loadings. But time will tell...
