Think performance is the same BUT I do know Jantar 2 is diabolically bad to work on the instrument panel (front canopy fixed)  If with Jantar 2 have one WINTER (not PZL) tube connector ONE 15 pin electrical connector and one BNC extension lead and then and only then would a Jantar 2 be acceptable.  I believe winglets are worthwhile on Jantar.  In strong conditions Jantar is equivalent to LS4 but LS4 may be better in weak conditions.  The winglets could equal up this difference.  Not so sure about construction of Jantar and spar bump but I do know the SZD55 is hard to remove the spar bump (it comes back) but it does not seem to matter much with the 55  My bottom line is get a Jantar 3 if you possibly can.  A Jantar is a poor mans LS4 as an SZD55 is a poor mans Discus 1.  Hope I have not upset people with such statements!

Could anybody please tell me if there is a difference in performance between the Stanard Jantar 2 and 3?
Do winglets really make a difference?
Is it worth [ performance wise ] recontouring the wings of an old sailplane?
