The Glasflugel Mosquito flap/spoiler combo is terminal speed limiting. I
believe that was a requirement until right around 1980?
I've fully deployed the flaps+spoiler on mine and pointed the nose something
near vertical and didn't exceed manuvering speed. The POH says they can be
fully & abruptly deployed at up to redline, but be ready for the 2G
deceleration shock.

The best solution is 'terminal velocity' spoilers that once deployed,
prevent acceleration to redline. 1-34 had 'em I think. Nice but not
required.
