Houston JS1c crash ONLY (not in any way about a Puchaczs, oranything else!)
You hit the nail on the head Tom. It's still the pilot that makes the difference, and dont get me wrong, the 29 is still a brilliant machine. If I lived in Europe, I would own one.
Need to go and face Uys now😜

Ben, I believe the inner wing weight is only a function of where the wing is cut (for the tips). The V2 and 29 inner wing panels are shorter than the JS, hence the lighter weight. Personally, I prefer the handling and ride of the 21m, but I am biassed to longer wings😄

Thanks OG. The JS-1 self launch has been mentioned. Pardon my rudeness for "pinching" you but is the prototype flying?

Weather looking crappy for my test flight on Saturday but I'm not giving up hope yet. Does anyone have a view on 'time to power' for jet sustainers? I'm not sure how long it takes to get to full power in my Discus bT if I'm honest but I'd guess somewhere around 30 seconds? I believe JS-1 TJ is about 45-50 to full power. Obviously I have more drag and I need to dive to start but I don't know how much time and height loss are factors compared to a jet. Anyone got experience of using a jet to avoid a landout?
