Don't be affraid to open the airbrakes at high speed, believe me, the
manufacturer is just a little smarter than that.
I'm not afraid to open them at high speed, I'm afraid to
lower the G-limit when I need G-s to recover. I've seen too
many accident reports where structural failure was
attributed to overstressing with the brakes open.
You have to be careful at high speed just because they tend to jump out
more
easily, so, have a firm hand on it.
Real aerobatic training (as opposed to some occasional loops) will
clarify a
lot of this.
Although it's been long time, my training was by a national
glider aerobatic champion.
