Default Anyone test fly both the JS3 and the Ventus 3?

I am 6.2' and 210lbs. I fit well into the JS3 (well enough for 8hr

without fatigue), even better in the LS8 and not at all in the V3 with

the
small fuselage.
The myth about the JS3 being too heavy to climb, is just that, and if it
comes to the run, I would rather be in a JS3 if I wanted to get home

first


FAI should mandate a minimum cockpit size to allow for the larger pilot
-smaller pilots are getting a slight performance advantage in these
smaller cockpit planes i.e Discus 2a vs the b. If it can't fit an Oscar
then
it should be banned from comps!
