[@PixelatedExistence]

Wow that's a beautiful glider! Thanks for a great video and to all who were involved in designing, building and bringing this amazing state of the art bird to fruition. Its awesome!

[@CumulusProduction]

Thank you Jonker for sharing moments like this. In less than 20 years, you've managed to design and develop the best gliders in the world and make any glider pilot dream from the comfort of his sofa by watching your videos! Keep on making us dream! 🤩

Nice! Now i would love too see a new 20m flapped double seater. Don't stop here :)

[@sUASNews]

Well done all, South Africa should shout more about your achievements, now please put pressure on the Condor guys to have it in 3

[@gliderwickid]

Already working on it!

[@dotEXCEI_]

[@ultimatemobilityluvtheride507]

Great Job Team Jonkers ! We will be looking forward to test your latest model at Worcester in the Cape!

[@CuNimb]

Congratulations to the team for what looks like an incredible new sailplane!

[@easy08154711]

What a beautiful ship, you must be so proud!

[@ashwinrajpurohit1090]

Excellent design & beautiful flight. Congratulations from India / Bharat 🇮🇳

[@johnfoster1201]

Beautiful! Now for a RES version.

[@annetteshawunstoppableyou5281]

A stunning looking glider!

[@mark_van_wyk]

So proud. You guys just continue to rock it.

[@stefanvanvuuren3931]

Amazing everyone! just a stunning plane!

[@henrih3080]

Amazing glider!

[@Schevron]

Do you have to retract the gears separately? The tailwheel was still out in the second flight Other than that - congratulations to another beautiful Glider. You just can’t beat the elegance of a Glider with a long wingspan

[@grahamariss2111]

An amazing achievement, fantastic sailplane, only question is which one of the children should I sell to buy one ))))

[@Russell_Phillips]

Congratulations!

[@ZubairKhan-vs8fe]

Proudly South African! Now for a few tenders to build more of them

[@cb1p111]

So many possible options to fly this glider : 3:28 two wheels out 3:40 no wheels out 5:09 only backwheel out Is there also the option to chose "only frontwheel out?"

[@Stratiljirka]

I wonder about the same thing. If you can close only the main wheel than they must have separate levers for each wheel which means I would have probably landed with only the main one out and damaged the glider very soon.

[@mlj9931]

Another wonderful aircraft. So much better if you take your sunglasses off when talking to camera.

[@palleh.jensen4648]

Congrats, beautiful ship.

[@topg2639]

Best sailplanes worldwide

[@nickr5658]

Love to fly your gliders in condor!

[@ecomandurban7183]

what a beautiful machine

Beautiful. Too bad I will never be able to buy it 😀

[@pilotmiami1]

Bravo.perfect

[@wilsonandremachadosilveira4200]

Showwwwww!!!! Bons vôos!!!!

[@avigator]

5:20 mighty and elegant 👌 What’s the wingspan?

[@dahabmike]

24m as far as I know

[@fonsschoemaker2577]

Well done, the tail wheel could more aerodynamic?

[@DumbledoreMcCracken]

Maximum pilot height? The Germans top out at 6'4".

[@sueclarke954]

What does REY stand for?

[@glideslopeza924]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@SwissJacques1963]

I believe, that the absolutely key has to be, to built a complete new wing profile. Wind resistance by 250 km/h with glide ratio of 1:80 should be similar to a pinguine body. This ones swim enormous fast with a huge water resistance. That means their shape is absolutely optimized. Dolphin also. How reachable? Look at the front nose/body profile. Patent now im proofing by authoroties.

[@Dzordzikk]

I don´t like JS gliders design, but JS5 is very nice.

[@tkxmix]

Lekker

[@cozzy206]

No head room

[@markorocznik3838]

The cockpit looks very narrow.

[@flightbase]

Its just not meant for Americans. Talking of that third world country of obese ppl: This gilder does not come with a cal 50 gun and 1 mile per gallon. In short: Normal ppl will fit.

[@eglide73]

I hope you have plans to move your company to another country. South Africa is collapsing politically and economically.

[@cloudstreets1396]

Nonsense

[@bensteyn1974]

They're gonna have to do something about those accents first! (It's a joke)

[@vrosi1963]

It must be better than a asw27
