[SPAM] Re: PCM lock out servo mvt

[Nat Penton]

Eric,
I find it impossible to acquire three desired flight positions and press 
store.Had'nt thought about doing it in the air. Will try and report.Thanks.

It's neat to watch 'em soar like a buzzard. A very low and slow descent rate 
and might even save an airplane.   Nat
