If you are already very fast and pull the airbrakes, you have to be very
careful during the pull up because the wing won't stand the same g-load as
without airbrakes.

He came up with the idea of pulling the airbrakes when still recovering

the rotating mode. I am not sure this can be done without disturbing the
recovering action or without hurting the glider.
Any comment will appreciated.

Pulling the airbrakes is what most handbooks say on this subject. But if
you're already very fast I'd do this carefully.
