Ramstein44, congratulations on the first flight ! One question, if you had used the air brake once you got her back on the ground and rolling do you think you would have got the tail down quicker ?
It’s possible but I decided not to install the airbrakes since I went with a full flap setup to slow me down better in flight which worked well so the air brakes don’t go up on my kit. I mixed the flaps with the elevator so in flight I don’t need airbrakes. The flaps are huge when fully deployed on my kit and go beyond the recomended range and should have caused enough drag to slow her down.
