KR> spoilers and the KR

[Colin Rainey]

Not to put the project down, but I would think long and hard about using 
spoilers for roll control in a KR.  I have known of several aircraft that have 
employed them, and they had some unusual spin recovery techinques to say the 
least.  Several pilots I know have flown twins with them, one specifically the 
Mitsubishi model, and had nothing good to say about the configuration.  There 
are certain flight conditions where the spoilers just do not give enough roll 
control response, and I personally would only use them for speed control and 
altitude control, like the inboard mounted kind used for slowing down, or 
altitude loss.
