Dusty Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 What size is it Neil? Funny that I aquired a glider this weekend too: A ASW 24 4m wingspan, full GFK and scratch built 12 years ago. Size and weight of the model will help for you Discus for the servo choice, also what functions or rather control sufaces does she have? Here is my ASW 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Fidling Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Nice! 'Fraid I Can't be of much use, other than if the model reflects to performance of the real thing, you will be in the air for hours and she's a real floater when it comes to landing.

digitalflyer Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Try Giant Cod there are plenty to choose from there,I got all micro(wings and elevator), mini's(u/c) and standard (rudder) digitals for my Discus CS and I've tried them in other strain pulling models too and they seem to be fine, added a couple extra grams but came well within the limits quoted on the instructions. Your is basically the same as mine in size ect, so you should be fine with standard. I've notice there's a lot of the Discus that are very simular, and one piece of advice I found on the net abot the Carbon Wing Joiner is to replace it no matter what with a steel one as it helps reduce flutter and the risk of the javerlin effect. Good Luck and have fun putting it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
