Default V3 at the 2018 convention?

It would be interesting to know why JS went only half-way to fully optimized wing-fuselage intersection that Mu31 has. Maybe they couldn't solve practical problems of ground handling (Mu31 has 3 part wing) or mass production?

The Schempp's "redesigned, roomier a-fuselage" is getting bit tired after so many years of repetition. It has same shape that was introduced with Ventus-a in early 80's. I simply can not understand how they can build roomier cockpit that has identical shape and material thickness of few millimeters. Sure you can redesign everything that's inside fuselage shell but it is still the same tiny fuselage that fits 70% scale pilot.
