I learned about the ASG 32 from a post by Rene de Dreu yesterday showing
photos of the ASG 32 being prepared for its debut at the Aero.

Hey guys,
before we get something mixed up he I saw the fuselage of the first ASG 32 Mi yesterday at Aero exhibition in Germany. It is basically the same fuselage as the ASH 30 except the tail. The wings will be completed in summer, first flight will be next year.
As the ASG 32 will be a flapped glider, it is surely supposed to compete with the Arcus and not with the Duo.
Concerning the ASH 30 which flew in 2011, AS says that the certification process was delayed due to a failed cockpit stress test. They wanted to make sure the whole glider is fully certified before selling more of them as they did not want to have them airborne just with a permit-to-fly. Number four will be delivered soon.
Bye, Helge
