JS3 chatter
The 26 and the JS3 fuselages are identical in overall shape but the 26 has deeper sides on the canopy cutout.

I always thought the 26 fuselage was a copy of the Ventus. Much better lines than the 27 & 29. We don't call them Schleicher spoilers. Who was copying whom?

The JS3 fuselage is NOT a 26 copy. Please.

I guess after designing structure and opening for JS1 jet option it's not realistic to really do much else. I read SA aviation forum and it appears that JS3 has JS1 EVO wing that is cut 1,5 m from the root, thus 15m span from original 18m wing. I have no doubt it can be great 15m glider for extremely good or even moderately good weather and surely it is beautiful, but I'm only seeing normal evolution of design instead of all-encompassing revolution. Probably most 3s will be flown with 18m span.
