All of a sudden it hit me like a brick wall. I did not raise my speed brake after I made the last landing. As I raised the speed brake, the airspeed quickly reached 100...110...120 and I pulled back on the stick and she climbed like a homesick angel. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I guess that also answers the question for those in doubt as to the speed brake being effective or not. I aborted a landing at a grass strip once and the seven seconds it takes for my electrically operated speed brake to come up seemed like an eternity with the trees at the end getting taller every second. That incident has moved my decision point for abort several seconds earlier in my approach even though I didn't catch any folige with my tailwheel !! :-) Have a nice day and fly safe............
