Default RE: Roo speed brake ??

Ineffective at high angle of attack. You've got more flights on ROO's than I do, can't argue with success. I'm just suggesting that at slow speeds and high angle of attack, the fuse might have been doing the slowing rather than the rudders. Either way, I believe what you are saying, just not sure it had much to do with the rudders when a very non-conservative CG would do the same thing.
