Schleicher ASW 15

The ASW-15 designed in 1968 by Gerhard Waibel and built in series by Schleicher is a glass composite sailplane with shoulder-mounted wings and all-flying tailplane. The placement of its single tow-release is a compromise between the ideal placement for winching and aerotowing. The later ASW-15B had several improvements including a tow-release placed on the plane of symmetry an 11cm taller rudder a slightly larger main wheel and the provision of a 90 litre water ballast system.
