NEED BALLAST BAGS
All,
I need to replace the ballast bags in my ASW-20C. Wings and Wheels does not have any, nor does John Murray at Eastern Sailplane. John says his Smiley supplier appears to no longer be in business, leaving only the Schleicher factory as a source. I suspect the factory will be horribly expensive, so if anyone has a set they would like to sell, or know where I might find a set, I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

NEED BALLAST BAGS
I bought a set for a 20B made here (Oz) about three years ago. I can
find the name of the manufacturer if you'd like. What sort of price were you hoping for? GC wrote: All, I need to replace the ballast bags in my ASW-20C.

NEED BALLAST BAGS
I was hoping to pay no more than about $400 delivered to my door. Just
by looking at them, ballast bags should not be that expensive. The materials are not exotic, and the fittings are crude at best. I'll bet there is less than $50 in materials alone. Thanks for checking! Graeme Cant wrote: I bought a set for a 20B made here (Oz) about three years ago. I can find the name of the manufacturer if you'd like. What sort of price were you hoping for?
