We (www.hyik.fi) have Janus CT (with sustainer engine). We
also have ASK-21 for basic training, couple Astirs and couple LS single seaters. We have 200 hours requirement for Janus solo. It's partly because of the engine. At the moment it's our only glider with flaps. The rear pedals are adjustable, but for me a little too close (i'm 186 cm tall). If I cross my legs while not flying from rear seat it's OK. Duo is more elegant to fly. On a good day Janus is very nice glider to fly, but it is a bit heavy in circling. If you testfly one, stay on neutral flaps until you have centered to the thermal, then go to positive flaps if you like. IMHO Janus prices are low. It is excellent for XC training. I got introduced to XC flying on 300km flight with Janus. It was then much easier to start XC flying on my own.

If you have other personal experience in the Janus, your opinion would be appreciated. |
