Let me know, thanks.

I believe I have seen a spoiler actuated brake system on a Nimbus 3,
maybe SH could provide the parts to convert yours. You can get some
real muscle into the system when the wheel brake is actuated by the
spoiler handle.

Is there an operational reason for putting the brake on the stick
instead of the spoiler? As opposed to, say, cost reasons?

I've always preferred the wheel brake on the spoiler handle, even though
it sometimes confused people when they saw the spoilers open as the
towplane began to take up slack.
