What amazes me is the extent of the intellectual and financial investment committed to the JS3 (clearly targeted at the new Ventus) all on the back of the proceeds of only a little over 100 JS1s. There was also the major contribution to the development of the M+D jet system and the impressive new factory building 3 years ago. They must have total confidence that their design and manufacturing teams will ensure long term sales success.

The new Ventus is and 18 meter glider. i've seen nothing on 15 meter tips. the JS3 can be targeted at the new ventus specifically, because it's being advertised and flown as a 15meter glider. probably they will have 18 meter tips for it, but for right now, it seems like it was designed to be a 15 meter glider.
