JS3 chatter
JS3 fuselage: leading edge forward is a blend from the ASW-17 and ASW-22; definitely influenced by Schleicher. Notice the '17 also had a higher shoulder position. https://www.flickr.com/photos/tibenham/6150202179

Can't wait to inspect how they did the automatic hook-ups. Really like the retractable tail wheel too. Congratulations Johan Bosman. We'll see...pretty is as pretty does. The 26 fueselage is considerably different than a Ventus. Place the two side by side and there is no doubt. Different shape, different cockpit, different canopy. Everything different. Place a 26 fuselage next to a JS1 and you cannot tell them apart. Even many of the details inside are the same. I'm not complaining about it, I doubt the 26 fuselage is legally protectable intellectual property. But the question was posed above. |

The aerodynamic shape of the JS1b/c is a 100% direct copy of the ASH26. They took an existing ASH26 fuselage, and made a negative mould of it. The internals are different. |

The canopy shape is defined by the aerodynamic profile. The trimmed configuration and contour of the canopy frame cut out may change, as it did in the evolution of the Schleicher fuselages. I suspect that Bosman is really chasing details and reduced the canopy to change how it affects laminar flow on the forward fuselage. FWIW UH |

Would be interested to know all the functions of the second "LXNAV looking" instrument mounted below the LXNAV 9070 in the pictures of "UJ" panel.

Like the a model Ventus, the JS3 appears to have a small man's cockpit. Wonder if a 6'2" pilot with wide shoulders and a little extra "insulation" will fit? You guys in Benella give us the scoop.

No it doesn't. It is the same old ASH 26 cockpit size.

I am sure, and have been told by people who have seen it, that it is a good sized cockpit but I can't see the relevance of judging an obviously different newly designed fuselage and cockpit to the ASH 26. The JS1?- fair enough. But not the JS3.
