Why?
I haven't flown the Janus that often, but to me its airbrakes didn't
feel extraordinary to me?


The last time I flew a Janus, I needed both hands to close the airbrake.
THE girl who flew it the next day even couldn't close them at all, she
needed the help of the copilot.

He's taking the Mickey.
Andreas claims " 6'7", 201 cm" ;^)
He once had an image posted, but it appears to be missing now.
He's a big lad, if anything he might have trouble with full aft travel of a
control.

Our elder member, about 135cm, had a little trouble with the airbrake handle
in our Grob when they popped open once.

YMMV,
