First Flights in the ASW-15


Over the Canada Day weekend, I made it out to the Edmonton Soaring Club for a couple days of soaring.  Both days were weak with low cloudbases.  I did not fly very far but had a chance to try out the ASW-15 and figure out its handling characteristics.  As I had heard, the all-flying tail is quite sensitive.  Other than that the handling was straight forward with pretty good low speed aileron authority and enough rudder.  I am looking forward to flying it more.  June 30 flight  July 1 flight
