The thing that caught my eye is this sentence:

"Our newly-developed wing structure allows for a wing span of 21m despite
of a wing section as thin as 13%."

Anyone got any information about what is new about the wing structure?
Anything that might make the surfaces have a low susceptibility to
shrinkage and deformity?

John,

My ASH26E is six years old with no sign of wing deformity (spar showing
etc). I understand this was a problem for Schleicher at one point, and some
ordering new ships were insisting that wings be cured twice etc.

I sometimes fly winter wave and have no gel coat cracks to show for it at
all. My glider is most always left assembled and hangared.
