ASH-26E Update

My ASH-26E was delivered to the port in Germany and should be on the ship by now. Uli Kremmer of Alexander Schleicher personally delivered it to the port, now that’s service. The instrument panel looks great, I was worried whether everything would fit or not. The only problem I can see was the paint swoosh on the fuselage was supposed to be curved and ended up straight.
I’m curious about the high tech looking tail lights on the Cobra trailer. All Cobra trailers I’ve seen used old style incandescent tail lights and I’ve had problems with water leaking into the trailer through the old style lights, casuing me to replace the lights on my current trailer with LED truck tail lights. I’m hoping these new tail lights mean I don’t need to do that with the new trailer.
Darryl,
Your ship looks fantastic! Don’t worry about the curved swoosh, it would of gotten straightened out right anyway with you zipping around in your new 26E. Your are going to have such a great time with your new bird. Glad it worked out for all, mine should be shipping late April.

Darryl,
The Cobra tail lights are a new style that Alfred started using in the last few months. They are incadescent and hopefully will not leak, perhaps just a little clear silicone on the gasket between the lens and trailer body will cure this.
