Look for example the ASW 27 and it wing surface problem.

Udo, you are the second person that used the ASW-27 as an example in
this thread, but I'm not sure what it is intended to be an example of.

Schleicher had wing deformation problems with both the ASW-27 and to a
lesser extent with the ASW-28. I know of no corrective action
provided by Schleicher and I know for a fact that Schleicher claimed
the deformation on the ASW-28 was cosmetic only.

So my understanding is that Schleicher did nothing to correct the
problem and there were many very unhappy owners.

Do you know something different?

Schleicher also delivered several ASW-28 with incorrect airbrake
rigging. That problem was eventually resolved by changing the wheel
brake actuating rod to a part with different slot dimensions. In this
case Schleicher provided good support and also provided replacement
parts at no cost.
