There's talk the early 27s didn't have significant carbon fiber in the nose cone.
That the PowerFLARM range analysis with a single glareshield antenna in my later build 27 shows poor coverage convinces me there's carbon fiber below. Visual examination shows lots of black stuff in the nose cone. |

Visual examination shows lots of black stuff in the nose cone. My friend with an ASW27A agrees, saying he has fiberglass, but the ASW27B, 28, and 29 all have carbon in the nose. Too bad - the nose mounting was easy and effective. My next glider is supposed to have a Flarm antenna in the fin, so I'm hoping that's all it will need. So, with Flarm, transponder, and com antennas in the tail, it might be a very busy electromagnetic nightmare! -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 |

Excellent point - something that could be overlooked. I'll remind the dealer. Two are nearing completion; two others entered production a few weeks ago. Covid restrictions in Poland (and elsewhere in the supply chain) have delayed things by many months. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 |
