New Owner - 2007/07/31 03:51 Hey all!

I have recently become the proud new owner of an ASW 15 (Serial Number 15141)

The glider was out of action for a few years, because the previous owners did some refurbishments before selling her. They sanded down the wings and re-fiberglassed them and they put on a new canopy! They did a absolutely splendid job of it and she is a real beauty now!!!! I'm looking forward to hours of fun with her

Cheers,
Gunter

Welcome to the community and what a lovely ship you have!

I hope you mean a new gelcoat instead of refiberglassed!?

Re:New Owner - 2007/08/09 05:14 Hi,

they actually sanded the wings down and added another layer of fiberglass and then re profiled the wings again. i'm sure that they didnt just put a new gelcoat on.

Re:New Owner - 2007/08/10 16:48 Now, I getting very curious. Why would you add another layer of fiberglass. There is never a problem with the fiberglass, even with a very bad gelcoat.

What do you mean with reprofiled? Does your wing has a different aspect than before?
