Beautiful and very techanical sound bird, with all modern gadgets . Congrats & best wishes from India / Bharat 🇮🇳
What an exciting adventure!!! It sounds like you got a really proper checkout from someone who truly understands the systems involved.
I can't say this with enough happiness - I hope to see you share many adventures in your new glider - and I hope even more that you enjoy many many adventures in your new glider on your own.
I'm SO stinking happy and excited for you!!!!

Wow, what an glider. II learned gliding on an ASK13 and Ka8 back in the days. The most fancy gliider my club has iis an LS4 :-) Now look at this, that's a effing flying powered computer. Nice purchase!
WOW!!! This was a great video!! SUCH an amazing glider!
Philip, thanks for the tour! She certainly is state of the art. She's a sight to behold, for sure. I am sure she flies every bit as nicely as she looks. With that sustainer, I'm guessing we won't be hearing many land out stories from you in that ship! Congrats, again - enjoy your time with your JS3.
If I’m doing it right, I’ll still be landing out sometimes. My use case is mostly for self launch.
@@8OrangePants indeed! I hope to see you at KCVH sometime.
Great Video Philip with lots of information - thanks for sharing.
Very nice presentation! 😎
Congratulations a lovely aeroplane.
Post more videos of your JS3 flights and what it's like to get used to the new plane and how it compares to others you have flown.
I like this idea!
Wow that thing climbs great! Very nice :) thanks for the video
Yeah around 8 kt (4 m/s) at full throttle and 4 kt (2 m/s) at maximum continuous power.
@@8OrangePants At what mass? Guessing no water on board yet............
467 kg as-flown dry. Climb rate should drop 20% at max gross 575 kg...not sure I'll have the opportunity to load it up during the winter though.
Nice! Looking forward to get my RES installed. I've had a season with it as a pure glider now, and it's an awesome glider even then :-)
Just curious. Does the conversion include a bigger tailplane and different tips?
@@sidvalluri1702 It already has the bigger tailplane, but some ballast will be added to the tips
Interesting video - nice to see some of the systems. A great new toy. Can you fly the JS3RES in 15m mode at 525Kg either without batteries, with 1 or 2 ? Can it self launch or self sustain in 15m mode?
Yes, it's totally fine to fly with any number (including 0) batteries and in the 15m configuration as well, although with a single battery not recommended to self-launch.
Since it looked like there was soo much space, do you mind me asking how tall you are?
Im 6’7” (~198cm) so not ideal. I fit in some AS-Gliders, but better in the stuff like the LS4/LS8. Really trying to get a seating test in all different planes since sadly that’s the first thing that cuts out most planes for me😅
I'm just 5'6" (168cm). Although I don't know his size, I did see a very tall pilot fit in the cockpit by removing the seat pan and most of the cushion.
Why 8? Can you explain?
Quick question - where's your ASI on the panel?
Right of the big red switch. Asi/altimeter
@@8OrangePants Next to your second vario on the right, what instrument is that? Like your panel!
@@chrisgrab7148 ah that's the lx navigation traffic monitor
