ASW-12 Proto Question
Flying the 12 was never a problem. It is very docile,much like the AS-
W17. It did give me "aileron elbow" due to the large, powerful ailerons. It was easy to fling about like a 15m ship but you paid for it. I asked Wil Schuemann how he dealt with the issue and he said "don't turn". Wisdom. I have never been more "awake" than when landing the 12. Holding a rudder-stalled, nose-high slip down through the flair was nerve wracking. The only thing worse was not doing so. I appreciate the design philosophy of all-out performance that inspired a passionate young designer to build such a machine. The Concordia with its leading edge technology and design, its balsa core and planked fuselage is very reminiscent of the 12. |
