One remark Simon: “cruising speed” with the jet is indeed 140 km/h (or faster). But to get it started stay below 120 km/h. Means as well: absolutely NO diving to get it started and practically no additional drag. Noise in the cockpit is fairly low and I find thermals very well with the jet on. Really the best system with only fuel consumption (I always say I want to use it very seldom, so this does not really count) and noise outside, behind the jet as negative points.
Too noisy, have to fly too fast so will easily miss thermals, still have to dive to start it. It'd prefer a FES or RES, or even a SH petrol Turbo. But have to admit, it does look cool

Our “Maverick” of soaring! 😊
Jesus, the guys not that big a dickhead..........
Hello, don’t dive before start up, you risk a flame out, flight manual says below 120km/h for start up.😉
Woow very cool and awesome Simon 🤩😍👍🏼✈️😊
Amazing video!
Nice! Amazing kick right? Did you do a lowpass, feels quite nice pulling up without losing too much speed
Cool! 👍 Where did you fly Katrin‘s JS3?
From her home field Deckenpfronn!
@@FlyingSimon Thanks. Do you know the fly away price of a JS3 in this configuration?
@@avigator I don't! But that would make for some interesting content
Bravo.Thenks
Why a jet? Because jets are really cool!
