Schweizer 1-35 and other flapped sailplanes

I've never flown an HP. Getting sucked into a cloud seems to primarily
be a strong conditions (e.g. Western US) problem. Happened to me in an
LS6... have no idea what I'd do with a flaps-only ship except exceed
redline. Deploying the spoilers at close to redline scared the stuff
out of me as it was, but it worked.

A couple HP owners told me that spoilers are preferable to flaps when
flying fast under clouds with strong lift:

* if the lift suddenly increases and threatens to suck you into the
cloud, spoilers can be quickly deployed keep you below the cloud.

* flaps will first increase the lift as you begin to lower them, and
take you into the cloud. Increasing speed to stay out of the cloud may
put you over the speed limit for the flap setting you need avoid the cloud.

Have other HP owners encountered this situation, and how do they cope
with it?
