ASH 26 Master Edition incl. airbrakes ASH standing for Alexander Schleicher with Martin Heide the designer is a well known abbreviation in gliding circles and very famous too. The full size ASH26 was developed and built by the Schleicher company based in Poppenhausen. The machine is available as a pure glider and as a powered version with a retractable engine in which guise it is known as the ASH 26E. Unlike most 18m gliders, which are just bored out standard class machines, the full size ASH 26 was designed from the outset as an 18 m glider. As a result it’s performance is close to that of the classic open class sailplanes, but with significantly better handling. Emulating the full size aircraft, our model of the ASH 26 also constitutes a sweet handling machine with an extraordinary wide performance spectrum coupled with an impressive appearance. Special Features Light weight, high quality, high strength GRP fuselage with hard white surface, carbon-reinforced. Lightweight, finish-sanded obechi-skinned wings with genuine INTRO leading edge. Integral double laminated spar. Generously proportioned factory-fitted 12 mm dia wing joiner system. Pre-fitted MULTilock wing retainer system. Moulded GRP canopy frame with cockpit and seat.

Technical features The wings are supplied finish-sanded overall, and incorporate integral leading edges and tips under the skins.

The solid spar, reinforced with plywood, extends as far as the centre of the aileron and connects the top and bottom skins securely, while a second spar is fitted at the machined aileron well to avoid local weakness.
