At the risk of offending the JS3 fanboys with the impressive Ventus

Okay, sell those old ASG 29 / ASW 27-18 and pull out your check

One way of losing weight to fit in that teeny weeny cockpit. At least
with the JS3 and ASG-29 - 33? you don't need to be a stick insect or
jockey to fly them.

The V 3 appears to still has the same fuselage from the vertical fin forward of the ventus a. Same silly side hinged canopy. They say it has been re-designed, but i suspect the redesign does not include any outside dimension or shape changes. Interesting to note that Jonkers believes airfoils have reach an apex until a new technology, so they believe the gains and low hanging fruit are in the fuselage designs. The Ventus 3 is the oldest fuselage of the three.

At least the silly side hinged canopy does not burn up the glider.
