As Scotty said, "The more plumbing there is, the easier it is to stop up" or
something like that. I once heard that a F-18 only flies about 4 hrs before
something in it's complex system goes down and puts it out of the fight, or
requires many hours of maintenance work before return to flight 100%.
Back to speed brakes, I have noticed that the roll rate is slowed and more
rudder is needed to roll out with the brake deployed. I don't lower it until I
am established on final.
