I was not refering to landing speed on this plane being fast. I was making a general statement about how two(or more) ppl would see the same thing differently according to their viewpoint and how they are used to flying. The expo example was supposed to illustrate this point.
The statement saying one person might think the landing speed too fast while another might think its not were just comparing two people's perceptual differences but using the same plane(not this ME-109....but a generic fill in the blank plane).
I was saying that....in relation to the airbrakes on this plane...... one person might think the airbrakes helpful, while another person might not. Since you've flown yours without functional airbrakes, only you would know if they helped YOU and how YOU fly. Each person sees things different. Although the airbrakes might help in one sense to slow the plane down, it might also cause a different reaction that YOU might not be comfortable with, but someone else wouldnt care or would be willing to deal with. It's all subjective and thats all i was trying to say. I will have the airbrakes functional, but not at the same deflection percentage as the lower oil cooler flap portion. Will this help me? I dunno. Id like to hope so, but it may end up being just a cosmetic "isnt that neat" feature.
