Default Airbus 380

I gave rides and instruction in a 2-32. I was the lightest
ride pilot (180lb), so when a heavy couple was going
up I had the honor of being the pilot. Most rides were
the mile high ride. Soon after release, I would slow
it up to just above stall speed. With a heavy load
it would start buffeting at 55 mph clean. With full
spoiler, the stall speed was much higher. I would fly
at 85 mph on approach. The problem with the 2-32 is
the spoilers. With a normal pattern if you hold full
spoiler, you are not going to make the runway or spin
in. We taught half spoiler at the most until touch
down then you could go to full spoiler.
