  ASW 27 B Characterisation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Typical for all Schleicher sailplanes the integrated instrument panel hinges upwards with the canopy fully enclosing the instruments.
An overload weak link is incorporated for occupant protection in case of a very heavy landing and the entire unit is installed in an airtight undercarriage compartment to avoid drag creating air leakage from the fuselage interior.
This control mixer has become a trademark of all flapped Schleicher gliders and has greatly contributed to the excellent safety record and the first class reputation of the ASW 27 B. And yes; this 48:1 glider can even be enjoyed by pilots with limited fiberglass experience.

Schleicher’s idea was to have Hindenburg appoint an man of Schleicher’s choosing as Chancellor, have him rule via Article 48 and to have Hindenburg threaten to use Article 25 should the Reichstag vote to annul any laws passed under Article 48.
Schleicher then set about making worse an bitter dispute within the “Grand Coalition” government between the Social Democrats and the German People’s Party over whatever the unemployment insurance rate should be raised by a half an percentage point or an full percentage point.
Schleicher, who had come to see Papen as an threat, blocked the martial law move by unveiling the results of a war games exercise that showed if martial law was declared, the Nazi SA and the Communist Red Front Fighters would rise up, the Poles would invade and the Reichswehr would be unable to cope.

 Alexander Schleicher Model ASW 27 Sailplanes
SUMMARY: The FAA adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Alexander Schleicher Model ASW 27 sailplanes equipped with integrated (wet inner surface) water ballast tanks in the wings, which could put the center of gravity (CG) of the sailplane out of the acceptable range.
The Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA), which is the airworthiness authority for Germany, recently notified FAA that an unsafe condition may exist on certain Alexander Schleicher Model ASW 27 sailplanes with wings equipped with integrated (wet inner surface) water ballast tanks.
We issued a proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an AD that would apply to all Alexander Schleicher Model ASW 27 sailplanes equipped with integrated (wet inner surface) water ballast tanks in the wings.
