<DIV>We went to a contest in Temple, Tx which sits in a horseshoe shaped row of
trees, and not little trees to boot. Couldn't get the plane to slow down
on landing so put them on on Fri before the contest. What a joy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My Oly Medal needed Up elevator mixed in, Joe's Prophecy needed down
elevator mixed in. Both slowed down much better and was actually easier to
control on landing also.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The only bad thing to mine was the plane would baloon when at speed on the
downwind leg, but once it slowed down, then the plane went into a very easy
predictable glide path.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Only use it on occasion, when needed, but it is a nother tool in the tool
bag.</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>
