[RCSE] Spoiler Differencial

2004-09-28 Thread Winch
Something caught my eye the other day while reading about local 2M rules in
Calgary.  It mentioned you couldn't use spoilers individually.  Now, I'm in
the process of building a Sailaire and am wondering if I should use this.
Does it help significantly for close in work (ie my LZ is tight at times).
I know my BoT will turn on a wing tip but I'm reluctant to do that 5 feet
off the ground.  Would it bring a big RES plane around quicker and flatter?
Are there trade-offs to consider?

While individual spoilers could indeed enhance turning performance, to use
them in an RES contest defeats the spirit of RES.

Jim,
Unlike what seems like the other 99% of the list, I don't do contests.  I
fly cuz I like to; not cuz I have to beat someone.  However, back to the
original question, does using this have a detrimental side?  I'm trying to
get a big RES into a small LZ.
