a docile trainer, all you need to do is install the speed
brakes. With the speed brakes installed, the flaps in the
down position and the NACA wing droops all installed,
you have a plane that can be used, with a trained flight
instructor, for basic training.

Step 1
Position the speed brakes as shown on the landing
