Default Thanks guys...

I really do appreciate these explanations. So,... in order to cause a significant increase of sink rate while maintaining a normal pitch, my guess is that a little down elevator mixed in would tend to balance out the nose up tendency from the "spoilerons". Then, using throttle management, I may be able to almost "harrier" down to the runway and make a nice very short field landing. Does that sound like a reality, or do other things come into play in this scenario?
