Default RE: Composite-Arf rookie questions

Did anyone cut their speed brake bigger then the normal 60mm X 230mm? The scorings on mine is larger then that.
Lots of people did and then complain that the air brake does not operate properly, the problem is once you go outside the size recommended you put a curve on the brake and undersurface of the fus this then prevent full operation, advice is don't do it, use the Canard at 80degs as an additional air brake if you require to slow down more, the infamous Rookie/Kangaroo bounce on landing is caused by landing too fast, not landing nose leg first or any other excuse, its just landing to fast and not with the nose up, well that's my experience anyway, hope that helps.
