misd-agin, you obviously missed again.


Try re reading my post and thinking about it a little more.


Not applying corrective crosswind inputs will cause you a lot more directional problems creating more drag than the negligible drag of partially raised spoilers on one wing.


The drag is negligible, what you are actually doing with these raised spoilers is keeping the main gear firmly planted throughout the take off roll, this is important !



The spoilers are killing lift where you do not want it, they have a very minimal affect on acceleration or deceleration at these speeds.
