Steve Leonard will be pleased to know he has a JS3. He bought VH-VJS a few years ago.

I am ready to take delivery any time they are ready to part with it. :-)

The rumor is that the JS3's arrived at the Sydney airport yesterday. They should be in Benalla today or tomorrow. It will be fun to watch this all play out.

Both registered to the aussie agent here. They're also just a bit short of paperwork. CofA not issued yet due to some messed up paperwork from RSA is what I've been hearing through the grapevine. I believe it's related to serial numbers messed up/swapped. GFA is madly scrambling to get it all resolved ASAP.

Aww, no need to spoil the fun, Justin!
Know Todd very well, my second VH-VJS flown was his JS1B.
Todd grabbed the registration when the Nimbus 3 was shipped to Steve in the USA. VJS is still on the glider, there never was a VH-.

. GFA is madly scrambling to get it all resolved ASAP.

I hope the JS3 vs Ventus 3 battle takes place as it will help me to decided

which Libelle to buy next.

JS3 flying in 15m, V3 in 18m.

Quite diverse in pilot rankings.

More info on air venting inside the cockpit ?

I've seen the central channel and the sealed hole for instruments cooling but I don't see any vent directing air flow to the pilot.

How can the pilot avoid boiling in the Australian hot weather ? Only the slide window ?

I like that they relocated the wheel brake on the stick, uncoupling it from the airbrake. That and the airbrake locking mechanism should simplify the landing roll.
