Default Jonker JS-3 in Sagebrush

As a postscript, I'm not so sure that having detent stops for open dive brakes is really a good idea. I'll think about that some more. I may decide to remove the detents. I suspect that there are other variations of the problem that I just had. It would be especially embarrassing if something like this happened to me again.



Thanks, Steve, for your post.
Keep the detents.
I assume this is the Piggott hook that the other thread is discussing.
One day you will be distracted from your routine and you'll take off with the spoilers closed, but not locked, like that 20B that ended in the same Sage brush.
