Some people have even tried them as alternatives for ailerons - lots of
issues with this.
USN EA-6B and A-6 (series) are good examples and in this case are called
"flaperons".

Can anyone provide a site or advice on placement a details of
construction
and
design of spoilers?

Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired

What do you want the spoilers to do? Glide path control like a sailplane
or
slow an airplane down to flap/gear extension speed? If the latter, look
at
some Mooneys with speed brakes. If the former, visit a gliderport. There
are lots of variations.

One thing to keep in mind is that spoilers spoil the lift in a way that
redistributes it spanwise towards the wingtips. On sailplanes, this can
reduce the wing ultimate load factor from, say 5.5G to 3G - not a good
thing
if you are recovering from a dive.
