ASW 17 water ballast system

[OregonGliderPilot]

Might anyone know of any components or complete water ballast parts for an ASW 17? I am aware that the bags are sometimes available from Herr Streifeneder, but the lead time is long and the costs are high.

Thank you,

[Bob Kuykendall]

Streifeneder is indeed your best bet for the bags. We use them in the HP-24 along with dump valves of our own design.

Bob, is there something about making bags that is more difficult than it "seems"? With your skill set and the demand, I bet you could have a nice business making bags for more than your new HP.
I'm tempted go try to make a set myself (without knowing any better.)
