The beauty of the Sailplane Grand Prix is that by controlling wingloading - they effectively handicap the latest gliders. This allows pilot skill to shine through even if flying the previous generation of 18m gliders.

Anyone know why none of the JS3s in the Australian Nationals are no
longer flying? At 07:03 19 January 2018, wrote: The beauty of the Sailplane Grand Prix is that by controlling wingloading - they effectively handicap the latest gliders. This allows pilot skill to shine through even if flying the previous generation of 18m gliders. |

P.S. It's a damn shame that Norm's 179.6kph in his new JS3 was reduced to a leisurely 167.8kph due coming home 14 minutes under time It would have been trumped the very deserving winner by over 5%

There was a link to a presentation by the Jonkers of the design and build of the JS-3. Could not find that link was wondering if someone could post please.

The V3 and JS-1c (18m) match each other with the same wingloading as seen in Chile yesterday - and the JS-3 is a decade newer than the JS-1..... Maybe I am just biased being a South African - but I am thinking the Germans have some catching up to do in the next few years. The JS-3 is going to be unbeatable in 15m and 18m Classes - and the JS-1c will still be very competitive in the Open Class in any competition. This advantage will be even greater where wingloading is a factor (strong days) and especially where it's weight that's limited, and not wingloading (like the Sailplane GrandPrix). |
