Also the very long wait on these new gliders suggests that with few exceptions, most folks ordered them before they won any big contest based on the hope and expectation that they will be better or at least as good.
My 29 is not for sale anytime soon

They are both excellent gliders and an improvement in the state of the art, but, to be fair, the median FAI ranking for the JS3 pilots was 56, for the Ventus 3 pilots was 64 and for the ASG-29 pilots was 688. Both Jonker and Schempp-Hirth did a nice job getting new gliders into the hands of top-ranked pilots. Great pilots flying great gliders are hard to beat. Mostly, great pilots are hard to beat.
