Schleicher ASW 19

The ASW 19 is a Standard Class single-seat glider built by Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co. The ASW 19 is known for its pleasant handling and some clubs use it as a training glider. Schempp-Hirth metal air brakes are fitted on the upper surface of the wing and later models received modified brakes with an additional panel due to the somewhat disappointing effectiveness. The wings are held in place with two main pins. Up to 80 kg of water ballast can be carried.
