The 55th international Hahnweide competition is just done and dusted. Dusted is maybe not the correct word as there was a lot of moisture funneled in by low-pressure systems from Italy dominating the European weather conditions. The task setters did an amazing job with the given weather situation and squeezed out the maximum possible tasks and real …
“The JS1 is truly a revelation. I was surprised by how easy gliding can actually be. The ground handling is really easy, everything makes sense. The flight characteristics are amazing, you feel the thermal better and don’t have to concentrate so much on the flying. I keep being amazed by the performance, especially in 21 m. The JS1 climbs wel …
2022! What an incredible flying season! I had two personal goals for the season and one big goal we set as the “Hannoverscher Aero Club” (HAeC): I wanted to fly more than 800 km and circumnavigate Berlin starting from the Oppershausen-Airfield. As a club, we were highly motivated to fly fast distances to move up to the second league in Germany. The …

“Flying the JS3 is extremely satisfying in every aspect including handling and performance. During the WGC in 2017, I broke a Serbian National record with an average speed of 151 km/h over a 750km flight. The best thing about JS gliders is that it gives you a feeling of safety at all phases of the flight.” …
“My first fight in a Jonker glider was in Potchefstroom, January 2018, in a JS1C-21m. This was only a few months before flying the JS1 in the Open Class during the WGC. The airspeed indicator was not working, however, I could still feel the glider extremely well – I immediately knew that I could trust this amazing glider. My favourite feature …
“My first flight in a JS1B was enough to convince me to buy a Jonker sailplane. My first flight in the 21m convinced me that this was the glider I wanted for long-distance flying. My first flight in the JS3 however surprised me after several hundred hours in the JS1 – It’s a completely different bird. So far, I’ve only been ab …
“My first flight with a JS3 JET was in Tswalu in 2018. I immediately fell in LOVE with this awesome glider and ordered one the same day. I was completely blown away by the nice handling, direct response, and ultimate feeling for the air even at a 60 kg/m 2 wing loading. The comfortable seating position, good visibility, in reach of all the controls, …
