Default JS3 chatter

Wish I had the airbrake locking feature on the Stemme. Currently I have
to have my wife dump the flaps after landing. If I let go of the
airbrake lever to retract the flaps (to increase weight on the gear),
the brakes are as likely to close as not. In cross winds that can be a
problem with a wing wanting to lift.

I like that they relocated the wheel brake on the stick, uncoupling it from the airbrake. That and the airbrake locking mechanism should simplify the landing roll.
