Spoilers for Pattern Planes?????

[Scott Anderson]

Larry,

I use spoilers on my Viper it does lower the landing speed to almost a walking pace...also when the spoilers come on there is a little down elevator..

Happy Landings.

  OK...Maybe I'm loosing my mind...

  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.

  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.

  What I would like to do, is take the responses (Good / Bad) from this thread to form my own opinion.

  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...

  Then again, perhaps I have lost my mind...

  See ya,

  Larry
