Spoilers for Pattern Planes?????

[mdarr00 at comcast.net]

Larry, I have been using spoilerons on my Oly for quite awile now.  I really like them.  I know some of the other guys in D4 had tried them, and did not like it.  My advice is give it a try.  If you don't like the results then discontinue use of them.  My set up has 11 degrees of up ailerons, and 1 degree of down elevator.  Give it a try, you might like it.

  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
