First flight of the Schleicher ASG 29

[Markus G]

Yesterday (Nov 9th) the new ASG 29 had its first flight. The ASG 29 is
Schleicher's new 15m/18m flapped ship with sustainer engine as an
option. L/D is 52:1 for the 18m version.

More details can be found here:

The English site has not been updated yet with first flight info (as of
this morning), go to the German site for photos and more.

No idea, I'm not linked to Schleicher in any way (wouldn't mind being
linked by having one of their new gliders though :-)
