The Royal Models ASW 27

This is a semi scale model of Alexander Schleichers ASW 27. The 1:4.3 scale size of this glider makes it an excellent candidate to get into scale soaring, aero towing, winch launching, hi-start or Slope Soaring! (our favorite).

This model is provided as an ARF. The level of completion is very good, reducing building time and building complexity. The airfoils are HQ3/12 and offer predictable, forgiving flight characteristics. The airfoil design responds well to thermals and it's low camber allows for high speed and great energy retention for aerobatics. 

The model is designed for experienced pilots / builders.

Construction:

The wings are wood sheeted foam with covering with both ailerons as well as flaps and fiberglass winglets. The wings also have extra reinforcement to deal with the rigors of slope flying. The fuselage is epoxy and glass composite with a white gel-coat surface. The fuselage is also reinforced with carbon and kevlar for extra strength and stiffness. Precut, individual plywood servo frames are provided for the rudder and the horizontal stabilizer.
