I guess so. Did they copy something?


If I remember the story right, Schleicher provided an ASH26 fuselage for S-African Tech. University for research purposes. Few years later it was copied into JS1 fuselage. Others may fill in if I missed some facts, it's been 10 years since I heard the story from Heide (who was not very happy about it). Are you saying you haven't noticed the obvious similarity between '26 and JS?
