The ASW27 and later Schleicher gliders have spoilers that won't suck
open in flight when they are unlocked, because the trailing edge of the spoiler caps is higher than the leading edge (front edge flush with
wing, rear edge not flush). Is this a common feature on other gliders?
Is it a regulatory requirement?
