<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suspect that the main reason the spoilerons (?)
help in crosswind and gusty conditions is that you are naturally carrying more
speed to hit your landing target and you can maintain better roll control as a
result. Maybe there are other factors, but I do know that I land a
little faster and more accurately with them.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I use the "spoilers" as we call them a little different than has been
mentioned. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Use 10-25% up ailerons but I don't mix in any Elevator. My reasons
are simple, don't need it for landing. As I am flying the downwind leg
and activate the spoilers the plane pitches up, and actually have used them
for spins on very calm days, but as soon as the plane slows down a bit it
flies level. For me to add the mix in destroys the glide path I
like.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The spoilers do have a very noticeable effect on cross wind landings
suprisingly, eliminating a lot of the choppy effect but I don't understand
why.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have done this method on 3 different style planes all with the same
result.</DIV>

plane are you trying this on? I have my both my Focii set up with
this<BR>and I like it. I use ailerons up and down elevator. In Futaba land I
have<BR>+30% Flaps (ailerons up) [= ~ 5 degrees] and -20% elevator (down)
but you'll<BR>need to experiment. On some planes I use very little down
elevator in the<BR>mix, I just do it manually when I land. I found that
using the "airbrakes"<BR>helps me to be able to transition into a nearly
flared condition very early<BR>on final without worrying about any tip
stalling. You basically head<BR>downwind, chop the power, hit the airbrakes
and point the nose down. When<BR>you get close, start to raise the nose and
bleed off speed. You can then<BR>drag the plane to the mark with a little
power if you need to. Try it at a<BR>field where you have some room. You may
find that you undershoot the first<BR>few landings until you get used to how
the plane comes down with the<BR>airbrakes on.<BR><BR>John
