Hi Netters, The holiday in Portugal is over, I am trying to catch up on the KRnet postings. The 25 March/06 asks if any one was using spoilers. Yes I am. I built them into the main wings at the start of the building of the center wing. I got a report from gentleman in England that did this too.

Not to put the project down, but I would think long and hard about using spoilers for roll control in a KR. I have known of several aircraft that have employed them, and they had some unusual spin recovery techinques to say the least. Several pilots I know have flown twins with them, one speci
