Thanks RV

If I fly naked I wont be sure whether to use the control bar or my "joy-stick" :) :) :)

Hi FAWG

If I fly in the rain I definately wont find my "joy-stick" :( :( :(

Thanks anyway I guess i'll stick to doing it the good old fully clothed way and celebrate with Morpheus and the rest of my flying pals with a great big pssssssss-up

Safe Flying,

Good luck clue-less. By the sounds of it you clearly are clue-less about which control system to use under different circumstances. The joystick one only uses under warm moist conditions :lol:

I am glad that I could have given you assistance in your time of definite need. Enjoy the 100 hours. I believe statistically you are past the worst. Just watch out for bad habits now and low flying.

Hello CLU-less, welcome to the illustrious :roll: and mean :twisted: and dangerous :shock: 100 HOURS+ Club

Last I looked I was about 115 hours, further back on this topic you'll see what advice Demon gave me, and now what Microwave has said - thanks guys.

Who dares to knock the old aeries? :evil: I have flown a MAC CDL since 1985 and still flying it and loving it. Also rather sad to have replaced the old Cuyuna for a Rotax but I made sure that it was buried with proper military honors. So, all you newbies, show respect for the old ladies of the air. They paved the way!

Who's Avatar? Does he fly? It sounds like a Czechoslovakian aerie. If it doesn't fly 'I cannot be bothered with it now' :lol: Waiting for the :evil: Cape Doc to stop blaaaasing so I can fly my good old dependable museum escapee CDL
