Is there an operational reason for putting the brake on the stick instead of the spoiler? As opposed to, say, cost reasons? Possibly. If it is necessary to move flaps to a negative setting right after touchdown, that means releasing the spoiler handle in order to move the flap handle. If the brake is on the spoiler handle, that also means that the wheel brake must be released. If the brake handle is on the stick, the wheel brake can be held on with the bicycle brake grip while the flap handle is moved. I favor both as with the Duo Discus or heel brake as with the LS-3. I use the wheel brake stick grip by shifting my grip such that rearward force on the brake handle also pulls the stick back to help prevent a nose over and keep maximum down force on the tailwheel to prevent a ground loop. My left hand is then free to shift the flaps to max negative and return to the air brake. |
