Why acutate the spoilers with a lever on the stick instead of thespoilers?

Is there an operational reason for putting the brake on the stick instead of the spoiler? As opposed to, say, cost reasons? Several reasons: (1) No spoilers (like the HP-18 or my whale mentioned above) (2) Some people hate messing with spoilers to prevent rope overrun at hookup, because of operational considerations or because... (3) Many gliders pull down flaps with spoiler activation, so if you pull spoilers back to use brakes now you need to push flaps back up (take-off and landing) I think that's why many gliders have both... Why it never works ? A long rant plus discussion above... Hope that helps, See ya, Dave "YO electric"
