Back to it, after having been away.
Foam for the outer wings sections has been cut. A similar process will then be followed as for the inner wing sections.

Wow, I've been able to post something!!!
Here are some more pictures (fingers crossed).
The ASH has been flying for just over a year. Final weight is approx 4kg.
Flys really well both flat field thermalling & slope. No nasty tip-stall, all very gentle and predictable.
Very happy with it!
BTW the seagul is my wifes idea of a joke

Very nice. I have had log in problems fo the last year but seems OK now. Your ash 31 looks fantastic. Have just sold my 7m ash last month plus my 6 m dg 800. I think smaller models is the way to go for me now. Your ash looks a nice size

hello Roo,
I've never owned, or flown, anything larger than 4m.
I can launch the ASH myself, on slope, but have been doing a bungee launch on flat-field (then run the motor when airbourne) as I'm not confortable to hand-launch with motor running.
I have no intention to go bigger, just because launching will become more 'entertaining' (I assume)!
