    How can I use airbrakes in Ju87 and Ju88

    How can I use airbrakes in Ju87 and Ju88

    In condrols I just set a AXES. ok.
    I see 3 positions up, netral, down. ok.
    on the ground (external view) I see airbrakes moveing. ok.

    when I open airbrakes (full down) my plane is going down (like my elevator full down)

    is it correct ???

    Yes, it resets the pitch trim for a 90 degree dive, you can counter this with stick input for the dive angle you want. Once the dive brake is retracted, the trim returns to a preset setting, not your last trim setting.

    For the Ju 88, it depends on the altitude entered into the Lotfe.

    1. If this is higher than then current altitude, the trim is not affected and it works as a conventional air brake. So, if you want to make sharp landings, or use it defensively for stopping-manoeuvres, then set the bomb altitude to higher than your current altitude.

    2. If the bomb setting is lower than the current altitude, the aircraft goes into a dive with a release and auto-pullout at the preset altitude. Thus, if you are at 5000m, and the setting is for 800m, you'll go into a dive and have a bomb release and pull-out at 800m.

    The above applies to the Ju 88. I do not know about the Ju 87.
