Mating AS-W20 A wings to a C fuselage Anyone done this?
I haven't done this, but my former TW (SN 360) had received a C-fuselage when it was owned by Martin Heide, and I had bought it like this. Schleicher has issued a technical note on this (it's an approved modification), so best would be to talk to them.
You'll get the best of two world's - the advantages of the C fuse, and the 55 deg flaps. The C wins offer no advantage whatsoever. Bert Ventus cM TW |

What are the advantages of a C fuselage?

Bert Ventus cM TW what benefit are you hoping to gain having "A" wings, instead of "C" wings? why not just get a "C"? I have a "C" and it rips. the mod is alot of work for probably VERY little difference. the only reason I'd take the time is if I had two wrecks that I could piece together economically. |

It only makes sense if you have an A-model with a fuselage damaged beyond repair. |

I had a C model for 11 years, and was under the impression the wings were slightly different from the "A" wings, mainly to improve resistance to spinning. How would the C fuselage provide 55 degree flaps? I think the mechanism is all in the fuselage, not in the wings. -- 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 - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Dec 2014a" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://soaringsafety.org/prevention/...anes-2014A.pdf |

I guess that you can adjust the mixer to give 55 deg on the flaps. The C-wings have no advantage whatsoever, and they are certainly not more spin resistent. I have flown an ASW20C with CG near the aft limit, and it was a bitch. |
