JR "Unplugged"

[george kennie]

Don,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. It was not expected, but
appreciated. I have your responce printed out for reference.
I also received an additional help from another concerned individual who
sent me an article from Horizon on programming the 10-X which just
happened to be 35 pages in length, but I was unable to print it. It
activates a non-accessable dialogue box. Duh!
Regarding switch assignments: E-F, MD, LD, MX, AU, GR, SNP,
STK,......I'm aware that MX refers to the mix switch, GR the gear
switch, SNP the snap switch, and STK the throttle lever, but am in the
dark regarding the rest. Could you define E-F, MD, LD, AU, .......AU
sounds like it would be an Auxilliary switch, but which one? Also, is it
possible to assign anything to the Flap Switch (not the flap lever), the
one that says "elev and land" beside it?
Thanks for explaining "Normal, Include, and Origin" .
I'm using the Elev D/R switch for activation of my flight mode which
prompts me to ask, are you flying mode one or two?
On the subject of the mousse can, the one I had on my Schmooze is going
on a new airplane this season so I have gotten more longevity from it
than I originally anticipated.
Oh, while I've got you, that #10 maneuver in F-03. I got thinking about
that the other nite and it occurred to me after drawing out several
variations of the maneuver that if the loop portion of the maneuver is
sized so that the bottom of the loop is at the same altitude as the
entry line, then the vertical up becomes the absolute center of the
maneuver no matter what size you make the overall maneuver. Makes it
very easy to judge the center of the maneuver, for both the pilot and
the judge. Troy's probably going to jump in here and complain about too
much detail, but as a judge I feel every maneuver needs an absolute
standard to be judged against.When there's too much subjectivity allowed
everybodys personal bias gets thrown into the mix and interpretations
run wild.Draw this out at a few different scales and you'll see what I
mean.
Thanks again,
Georgie
