Calling Eta-Biter an ASW-22 is kinda like calling a 450hp hotrod "just a model T".
While it is true Dick bought a new ASW-22B for some parts to build this glider,
Dick built everything aft of the wings (tailcone, fin, stab, retractable tailwheel),
and of course the wings are different (structure, airfoil, pilot-controlled blower
turbulation, etc).

It's true, the dataplate still says "ASW-22" ;-)

Anyway, its Heinz's reward for helping on Concordia.
