An ASH26E has an all carbon fuselage but a fiberglass turtle deck. As does every other AS glider I have ever seen (20, 24, 25, 29, 31, etc.). Every Ventus and Discus I have ever seen has a fiberglass turtle deck. Ditto every DG and Lak.


No they don't. I've maintained and repaired a bunch of gliders you mention and I'm familiar with their structure. I've been to LAK factory seeing them lay-up parts. Here is a link to fuselage lay up showing full carbon lay-ups with glass at the tail for antenna:

Your list includes gliders that have all-glass-fuselage BTW. Just calling BS, for the last time now.
