Default Landing with reduced airbrake


Hi again flubber,

I just re-read (most of!) that thread .. an I do remember it now.

It doesn't really address my question which is (to paraphrase):

In gliders with a low angle of attack 2 point attitude (e.g. DG-1001 & LS8)

does anyone else find that trying to land with lots of airbrake inevitable

results in a tail-strike, and therefore reducing the airbrake to (let's
say) 1/2
at around 100 ft or so is advsed?

Cheers,

Richard
