I am not sure that the company ever produced winglets for the ASW-15b. I have winglets on mine that were designed by Maughmer and installed by M & H soaring.

Hi Robert,

If you mean by "the company" Schleicher, you are right. Schleicher never made winglets for the asw15 themself. There are several third parties who make them. But note that they are quite expensive. I investigated it some years ago and if I correctly recall they are about 1500 euro's each (Note: you need two

)

Re:Looking for winglets - 2008/02/10 10:40 Yes, I meant "the company" Schleicher, never produced them. They are wonderful though expensive. Solid control during slow flight. It is hard to tell if there is a performance (L/D) improvement though. They look sharp!
