Default Jonker JS1 Winning US 18m Nationals?

Hig Greg,

Good point. But I think there were 2 JS-1s in the most recent South African
Nationals.


You are right!

Still the results are very impressive.

Hi,

If I'm reading the online result correctly, it looks like Bill Elliott is
ahead in the US 18m Nationals - flying the Jonker JS-1 Revelation. It is
a very close race though and the contest is not over. But it is cool to
see the underdog (the JS-1) doing well in Bill Elliott's very capable
hands!

I am not sure the JS-1 is the underdog, but Elliott certainly is doing
very well. It appears that the contest will be won by either him or DJ.

If Elliott does win, the JS-1 will have won all 3 of the National
Championships it has entered (twice in South Africa and once in the US).
One wonders whether any other glider has ever had such a record when only
a single example of the glider was entered in each contest.
