My Jantar Std 3 doesn't have automatic connectors for
the ailerons and elevator. Does anybody know wheter
this conecctions are of the L'Hotellier type?

The original Jantar STD had manual hookups but they were not
L'Hotellier type.
Those connection were pin in one component mating with a hole in the
other component and secured by a sleeve that slid over both. The
sleeve ensures the fitting is correctly mated and no additional safety
is required. (That's based on memory from over 15 years ago). I have
no experience with the -2 or -3 but would be surprised if they changed
to L'Hotellier which are a ball which mates with a cup. After mating
the 2 components, the cup is closed with a plunger driven by a spring
loaded wedge.

If one of these descriptions matches your glider then you have your
answer.
