Default ASW-12 Proto Question

Sorry about my mistake in the ID, Mark. I am sure that sort of thing
grates on some people just like poor Harland Ross suffering through
people calling his R-6 "The RJ-6".

And, yes, Andy. The prototype AS-W 12 (or ASW12) is in the Soaring
Museum at the Wasserkuppe. Right next to D-36 V2, Glasflugel BS1
serial 3, and I bleive there is also a Phoenix near by.

My question stems from two gliders and two trailers and how I suspect
the gliders traded trailers, so the trailer that is still here use to
house the original 12. And trying to make sure the trailer gets
preserved and not chopped up for holding another plane.

As to it being "a mistake of my youth", Gerhard, you are forgiven.
The sailplane was built for all out performance. The glide path
variation issue has been resolved by creative owners and probably some
help from Schleicher, so all is good.
