ASW-19 Moment Arms

Thanks, Hartley. Your point about the pilot is a good one, and I'll be
sure to do the weighing with me inside to get an accurate figure.

Of course, I can't say why Schleicher didn't respond to my message. It
was e-mailed to the General address (info at alexander-schleicher.de)
on their Contact web page the beginning of last week. However, this is
the third e-mail I've sent over the last 4 months that they haven't
responded to! Maybe I need to change my after-shave lotion! grin

But it's nice to know that the data is probably available.
Unfortunately, I don't have a maintenance manual for the ASW-19. If any
RAS reader does, could they please check it to see if it lists the
information I'm missing, and pass it on? Thanks!

I would contact your local dealer and obtain a maint. manual or the
information. Another option is to call AS directly.

Thanks, Chip, I called Eastern Sailplane. They don't have the
maintenance manual in stock, and Linda wasn't sure that one was even
available for the ASW-19B. Even if it is, it'll be 2-3 weeks before I
get my hands on it.

So, I'd still like to ask the RAS readership if anyone can provide me
with the information.

John,

Look up John Rizzo on the SSA site. He is a member of Finger Lakes
soaring and has my old 19B, 438AS. I think there was a maintenance
manual with the bird.

I'll check with my club as we have a 19 along with one of our members.

John,

look up Jim Rizzo of Finger Lakes Soaring on the SSA membership list.
He has my old 19B and there might be a maint manual (3 years ago
so.........) My club has a 19 as do one of my members. I'll check on
it.

Chip

Thanks, Chip, I appreciate you checking into it for me.

Jim doesn't list an e-mail, but there is a telephone number. I'll give
him a call this evening, and I'll let you know how I make out.

May I strongly recommend that you get the Maintenance manual. Talk to John
Murray. It will save you time, money, and frustration. It is well worth the
wait! Of course they are likely enroute to the Convention so you'll have to
wait till after they return.

Hartley, I called for John Murray at Eastern Sailplane - see my message
above. John was out trying to pry his new ASG-29 out of the Port of
Baltimore so that he and Linda could drive it to the SSA Convention.

Linda told me she wasn't sure that there was a Maintenance Manual for
the ASW-19, but it sounds like you and Chip feel there is. I sent an
e-mail to John asking him to order the manual if he can, but as you say
it'll have to wait until after the convention.

Thanks!
