Yes, it is doing well. BUT, download the IGC files and watch it on See
you. Team flying with his first place buddy on everyday is what you
will see. Best regards, # 711.

A very respectable start by any standards . After eight consecutive
contest days the new South African built 18 m glider is only just out
of first place in a field with many excellent established brand name
sailplanes behind . Yesterday's task resulted in a flight of over 700km
at very good speeds.
This is a Sailplane to watch .
Check out the SSSA site for complete details.

Hi Tom
Yes - the Jonker brothers team fly.
Yes - the JS1 only flew for the first time 10 days before the contest
Yes - It is in second place with a top speed limited to 200kmh!
It is a beautiful aircraft, with exceptional finish and detailing. Looks to be
fully competitive with the ASG29 and Ventus 2C. I will post some pictures in the
next while.
Cheers
Bruce
