Looking for ballast bags PIK-20 USA

Hello folks,

My PIK-20B bags need replacing. Does anyone have suitable bags for sale?

- I am considering manufacture and have contacted Guy Achard / Airsolid. Are there any other fabricators?

- The 20B is allowed to carry 140 Liters, but the bag drawing on trafi.fi show a bag labeled 60L. Why the discrepancy? This bag has an internal volume of 100 Liters when inflated outside the wing.

- There was a 140 Liter retrofit kit (factory?) available for the 20. Does anyone have documentation for its bag dimensions?

- I will consider buying any bags that have appropriate dimensions. I have heard that ASW-24 bags fit well.

Thanks in advance,

I have had bags made to order by Streifeneder in Germany. Fifteen gallon bags for $350'ish. He needs length, width at root and tip + fill tube diameter.
BTW, he owns the rights to all Glassflugel ships and has parts, like landing gears, etc. He has also sent me 92110 fiberglass cloth. Good guy to knowinfo(at)streifly.de
