I say take the airbrakes off...while your at it turn the clevis on the elevator out a little, cause its going to want to fall more now (those air brakes give you alot of "up")

Im my opinion, i would leave the droops on...i see no reason for them to come off. I have flown mine with them off and on, in flight i see no difference at all, and when landing (once you get slowed down) they help keep the wings level...if you slow down too much, it wont tip stall on you...

That reminds me...it wouldnt be a bad idea for now to go up to an 11" prop if you arent already. I thin it comes stock 10-6...right? I put an 11-5 on mine, about the same speed in flight, but it slows down better with the bigger prop, which you will want with the airbrakes gone...it definatly will want to glide ALOT longer now...make sure you star doing landing passes as soon as you get up and about and get it retrimmed...you want to know how it will land now without those on before you try it live!
