Roy, that looks good.
Did you build from scratch or from the Traplett wood kit?

Just had the plan, did inquire about a wood kit before i started building but at that stage they didnt do one, I think that they do have one now as well as a few others.

Traplet do short kits for the ASW 19/20. I am currently building the Skyark 2 from the Traplet plan and short kit. The short kit is very good, all formers and ribs. I also have the sort kit for the Mike Trew Pilatus B4 and it looks good as well.

Hello Peter.

VERY nice Building of the ASW :D And congratulation with your first flight.

I have just bought a complete kit(plan,short wood kit+canopy) from Traplet. It worked out very well. Now after seeing all you good photo`s and the "ship"is flying, I am keen to get started building.

    :clap:
And to you good fellow ASW builders. Thanks for your input.Hope I´ll be able to contribute as the Building is going along.

Best regards Joern Rasmussen

Hello.

I Wonder if some of you know what the aerofoil is:name/type? It looks different from what I saw way back.

It is my first scale glider and only my second project after more than 30 years brake from aeromoddeling.
I had done 20years with C/L and freeflight gliders so this RC scale gliders is a whole new world, allmost, and very exciting.

I have the same kit from Traplet. I do not know what the airfoil is sorry.

Was your canopy black on the plan? I think there is information there on how to build the canopy frame. I will enquire of Traplet and see what they say.

Hi.

The canopy from Traplet is clear and very nice. It has to be cut when fitting to the frame as per pland.

My canopy is also clear. On the plan it is black and there is information in the canopy area that I can not read.

Anyone got an old copy of the plan with the detail in the canopy area?

Hi Joern,

Welcome to the forum  :D

I can't really answer your question (cannot find any info), but seeing the age of the plan, I would bet on an Eppler, the 2 series.
Might worth to be compared with a E203, E210 and the like as they were very popular at the time (and still are, my ASH 25 uses one of the Eppler 201 - 203 combination).

After that, maybe a HQ? :?:

Hi Fred.

Thank you very much.

I will look up the profile data`s. It really does`nt matter but I am just curious.
When you say age of the plan, how old do you think it is?, can`t se any year/dates.

cheers Joern

Hi Joern,

I think the plan is a good 20 years old. If someone can confirm  :D

Hi Joern & Alistair,

Are you both building the Mike Trew version?  This plan must be over 30 years old. The canopy area on my plan is grey(!) rather than black and the text on it reads '1/8 plywood or paxolin canopy frame' - I made mine from plywood.  The airfoil I suspect is a scale one - I'm not sure what it is. There are certainly more efficient sections for models around but it flew fine on the slope.  It looks a similar section to on Roy's Cirrus. Good luck with your builds and post some pictures.  I've just started on a Slingsby Gull Mk 1 from the Paul Dean plan - endless fret sawing but formers are now cut. Will start a separate thread once it begins to take shape.
