[NSRCA-discussion] Air Breaks

[Ed Alt]

Bill:
I use ailerons up about 8 or 9 degrees.  It doesn't help you land any 
slower, but you can more easily set it down on the spot you want.  It also 
seems to help handling in the wind.  Basically, it lets you manage the 
descent rate more effectively with the throttle.  Re. the elevator mix, I 
think you have to just try it and see what the model does when you deploy 
them.  It might tend to pitch up, at least that's what I've seen on a couple 
of models, but the effect is minor and diminishes as the speed bleeds off.
