Hello all.

What are your thoughts on adding speed brakes to a NA ES? Although I am still flying in Phase 1, I can feel the extra difficulties in "coming down and slowing down". The combination of a sleek airframe and no gear to throw down adds noticeable speed to descents.

I did put the pockets and conduits in before closing the wings, so the install would be much easier.

I did pose this question to the ES group and got mixed reactions, although most feel they are not necessary, and several do not use them even though they are equipped with them.

Anyone have a set of brakes they want to part with if I move forward on this?

Thanks
