Not sure why Schliecher did not copyright the design of the fuselage.

Beautiful sailplane. Does anyone else think the forward fuselage, looks like it barrowed lines from the Schleicher series, ASW-24,27,28, ASG-29? The tapper looks different.

The JS1 fuselage is a near exact copy of the ASH26E. Close enough that I suspect they simply took a mold off of one. Imitation is flattery I guess.
