Bruno, did you say "can't wait to BUY one"?

What amazes me is the extent of the intellectual and financial investment committed to the JS3 (clearly targeted at the new Ventus) all on the back of the proceeds of only a little over 100 JS1s. There was also the major contribution to the development of the M+D jet system and the impressive new factory building 3 years ago. They must have total confidence that their design and manufacturing teams will ensure long term sales success.

As long as it takes in development of a new glider, do you think any manufacture knows of another is beginning development of their new glider, or any particulars? Or is it a coincidence that new Ventus and JS3 come out in same year? |

The new Ventus is and 18 meter glider. i've seen nothing on 15 meter tips. the JS3 can be targeted at the new ventus specifically, because it's being advertised and flown as a 15meter glider. probably they will have 18 meter tips for it, but for right now, it seems like it was designed to be a 15 meter glider. |

The new Ventus design 15/18 - they have just introduced it with 18m tips first. The JS3 is also a 15/18m design (I have the pricelists and 3-view specs for both spans) and the 18m version will use the same tips as the 21m JS1c - just as the 15m version uses the tips designed for it but that were first used as the 18m JS1 EVO tips.

Would be interested to know all the functions of the second "LXNAV looking" instrument mounted below the LXNAV 9070 in the pictures of "UJ" panel.

Hi Some interesting speculations. Here are a few facts: (...) Regards Attie Jonker Interesting, thanks for sharing Attie! Did you by any change consider using a mid-wing (like the Mü31) and if so, what was the reason not to pursue it into production? |

The MU31 project examined options for the wing/fuselage intersection and focussed on using a high wing solution rather than a mid wing.
By "mid wing" do you really mean a high mounted centre wing panel?? Those are horrible to rig. |

It's official...the JS3's will fly flown into Australia from SA in the next few days. Such a bummer the V3 will not go head to head with the JS3 in 18m.

.... but with the JS3 going in the 15m class then JS and the South African team have entries in all three classes.
