Bumper, the ASH-26 wing is dry. As I understand teh problem is when
you fill the 27 or 29's wings with water. Schempp has been building
wet wings for many generations of gliders, while AS is somewhat new to
wet wing construction.

purchasers have insisted the manufacturer oven cure the wings a second

this to help insure the wing profile has a better chance of remaining
constant post delivery.

My ASH26E wings show no signs of change and there no cracks either even
with
climbs high into Sierra wave (though cracking doesn't seem to be the
issue
on AS ships that it has been on some others).
