Hi

For some strength calculations I'd like to know the length of the
water ballast bags of an ASW20 (A). Anyone?

Many thanks

Roughly ten feet. Root end about 3 feet from the wing root, tip at
the flap/aileron junction.

Don't know the 20 but for my 19 filling the full length of the bags
put the glider well over max gross. I shortened mine so I was at max
gross when full.
