ASW27a Water Ballast Bag removal
Has anybody had involvement with the removal of ASW27a Water Ballast Bags? In particular is it possible to disconnect the bag from the wing dump valve by means of the inner large knurled bag connector rather than dismantling the valve from the wing itself.

The water bag is connected to the wing water inlet by means of a Gardena-type connection. Reach into the wing and twist (or pull), the actuator for the connection should be on the water bag side of the connection. -- Peter Scholz ASW24 JE not on mine |

Untie the string for the water bag on the root rib, and fasten the end of the string again, so that it cannot slip into the wing. On the water outlet (underside if the wing) unscrew the screw with a caliper 2 pin spanner with 3mm pins (e.g. Gedore No. 44/7"). Now you can pull the water bags carefully out of the wing. Take care not to damage the tube within the water bag, about 2.5m long. It works best when you place a long bench in front of the wing (before the root rib), where you can place the water bag on.
