Hanno Pretner used a combo spolier/flap on his Curare. It was copied for a
couple of years but then disappeared. I added them to my
Revenger back then too. If you have the right ratio, they were great for
landings becuase they would slow the plane down but would not initiate a rise or
fall. They were also helpful in initiating spins as well.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>OK...Maybe I'm loosing my mind...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had a conversation with an individual that told me I was wrong and
that we don't use nor will ever use spoilers for a pattern
plane.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I do have at least one e-mail referencing that some folks in New Jersey
have tinkered with this. I seem to recall a number of posts but I can' find
them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What I would like to do, is take the responses (Good / Bad) from
this thread to form my own opinion.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have never tried it. But I think it was advise I received from a
thread on trying to control the speed of my landings for short runways. But I
really don't recall all the points...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then again, perhaps I have lost my mind...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>See ya,</DIV>
