You can actually bypass the speed break on the bottom and use the rudder as speed break. Just program the rudders so that they will deploy outwards when you activate the speed break. It works great and by not cutting out the speed break at the bottom, it helps with the structural integrity of the airplane.
About how much outward deployment of the rudders seems to work?
I'm thinking about doing this with my TopCat.

What about yaw control before the nosewheel is down? Do you program a mix for that?

Hey Ben tell me more I have not cut the speed brake out yet . How much travel does it take on the rudders? Thanks Randy
