A closer look at the Jonker JS5 prototype

[@ThermalWave]

Is it dangerous to have the manual ballast valves? I remember from the ASH-25 that it is not allowed to empty the outer tanks only / before the inner tanks, which is usually made sure by the electric system. If the inner tanks cannot drain, you have to keep the outer tanks filled as well - otherwise you'll have a structural problem and strongly reduced Vne (150 kph).

6:40 what's the "knuckle-duster" like handle with 4 holes in front right cockpit side?

[@jenstrabolt]

You are looking at the landing gear retraction/extension handle.

Multi millionaires only need apply............. where to find them, as the pool of pilots who can afford these gliders is getting smaller, before the sport disappears entirely up shit creek, is the question.......

[@PureGlide]

In good news, new gliders sold today are much cheaper used gliders in 20 years...

[@SuperReasonable]

EB are certainly doing very well with their ultra expensive product.

[@wesk123]

If you think Gliders are expensive, you should look at Yachts! There's a LOT of people spending £250k+ on hole in the water.... Now the question is how to convert them to a proper sport!

[@SailFlyTri]

Well you keep voting for the same politicians over and over again. How’s that working out for you? 😂

@SeanFidler Odd observation to make on a Norwegian video of a South African product and UK / New Zealand based comments? I'm guessing non voted Democrat...
