One more thing: by splitting the wing at that point the inner panels
are mercifully lighter at 60 Kg.

The tips are the JS1/18 Evo tips. I guess the 21M JS1 tips will fit,
making the new JS3 18M glider.
Someone may like to try that as there are 21M JS1's at Benalla :-)
Aspect ratio would be 32.86 by my calculation. Higher than most 18M
gliders by 10% or more. Only 18M glider like that at present is
LAK17A when 18M tips fitted. Wing loading exceeding 60 Kg/M^2.
Pity about all the existing 18M gliders.

The actual video is 15 minutes, in case you think you don't
have a spare half hour.
Glider seems to be quite Schleicher like. Fuselage shape
reminiscent of ASW20.

New video up from GFA about the JS3. Uys goes into a very long
discussion on all the design features, and even the mixed up
Rego/Comp numbers. 30 minutes, so quite extensive coverage.

"Look through the lens, and the light breaks down into many lights.
Turn it or move it, and a new set of arrangements appears... is it
a single light or many lights, lights that one must know how to
distinguish, recognise and appreciate? Is it one light with many
frames or one frame for many lights?" -Subcomandante Marcos
