So we are thinking the JS2 will be the 20m 2 seat flapped glider to
rival the Arcus?

I'm taking a big guess here, but isnt the JS2 their new self launcher
? Not yet released as far as I know..
No, sorry the new self launcher is called the JS1 Self Launcher not
the JS2 :oops: Maybe the JS2 is still a secret..
---------------------------
Which is what the Jonker website calls the JS self launcher --- JS 1
self launch. The link may be tagged JS2 but they clearly call it a JS
1 self launcher

JS2 seems to have become the JS1 self launcher, they give it away in
their early promo material / website URL's

Thanks Richard,
Here's another link to another image.

Interesting. Note high location of wing and obvious section change
near the root with drooped leading edge for better alignment with
alpha flow.
Retractable tailwheel. Note also locations of pitot static and TE
probes on the tips of the tailplane. Not bad guys. The probes can be
a lot shorter (should be a local chord ahead of the surface to
prevent interference), the flow at the tip shouldn't be affected much
and moving the probes there prevents the disruption of laminar flow
over a substantial part of the fin.
Other than that it looks like a scaled down JS 1 wing.
Wanna bet that this will be a 15/18M glider? I can't see a huge
market for a dedicated 15m competition glider nowadays but a 15/18M
should sell well. The JS1 seems optimised for 18/21M.
So what happened to the JS2? I'd say it is a JS1 with the JS3 tech
incorporated.

Just in case anyone missed it, Jonkers flew a 15m prototype. No word
yet on whether it will be at Benalla or not.
