The only problem mounting the speed brake at forward spar location would be
for those that would like to bury their navigation antennas in that location
which is an ideal location (short run to the radios, lack of shielding metal
in immediate area as is the case with the rear spar for those running flaps,
exact center of aircraft for accurate navigational functions). For those
using conventional antennas this is not a problem but given the power band
we have to work with, any and all reduction in drag will greatly manifest
itself in performance.
