REFLECTOR: Speedbrake, descents, and shock cooling.

[Tom Martino]

I do not have gear doors (becasue I have found through testing that they only accounted for 5 knots).  My brake has been extended my gear at around 140 mph.  No problems.  I have imbedded brake lines.  Please don;t take this as a recommendation for anyone else ... just sharing information.

extension speed.
