Anyone test fly both the JS3 and the Ventus 3?

But if one is considering a FES glider then the performance differences between the fuselages of the V3 Sport, V3 Performance, and JS3 are less relevant given the performance loss from the prop on the nose. See the Idaflieg Lak 17a FES report that shows about 2 max LD points (4%) loss and 3-4 kph slower at typical cruise speeds at the same sink rate. It would make no sense to me to try to squeeze into a small cockpit to gain significantly less performance than you are losing from the prop.

Richard I know a few pilots that have flown both the V3 and JS3 plus a pilot who spent some time decided which cockpit he best fitted in. Email me and I can pass on those contacts if you like
