During a flight in a JS1 in South-Africa and of November 2010, a thermal with 5.8 m/s integrated. Look at the digital variometer at the most right and top of the instrument panel to the figure in top of the variometer, moving from 3.2 to 5.8.

Hello Carl, perfect to hear even 7m/s is possible in your side of the world. We see that rarely in South Africa and then we have to catch it on video or photo to prove it as well. See the Jonker Facebook page for a screenshot of a log file and a photo of 7m/s as well. If you have a photo or logfile screenshot, feel free to post it there. Thx for your reply. JS

Great clip :-) I've seen a video here on youtube, where they get 6,2m/s integrated in Denmark. I fly in Denmark myself, but I've never experienced more than 4m/s average, and that didnt last for a long time! I love your planes, and I would love to own one, some day :-) (The vid Im talking about is called "Danish Super weather).
