Great paintwork Fred - very crisp.  Where did you get the tape? Cool the way you can curve it.

Thanks all. I have to say, I am pleased to have found that tape/paint combination!  :)

For the tape, I used that one: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/hobby-12mm-masking-tape.html

Same as the Tamiya tape, but half the price. They do it in 9mm and other sizes also (I used the 9mm one for the asw15)

And first flight done for that one!  :-*

Strangely enough, I was expecting it to be a handfull, like all smallish gliders, but not this time!
She does fly like a 3m glider, very weird. We had 4 at the slope, with 3 first flights, and we all agreed. Very very nice in the air!

I just need to work on the breaks, as when you put the ailerons up, you loose almost complete authority on this axis. Once you know, it's OK (use rudder), but the first landing attempt was a bit of a surprise!

I flew like this for the rest of the day, and all landings were fine, but I have change the up settings to be 50%, not 100%, so that gives me 50% ailerons to play with.. We'll see how it goes on the next sortie :)
