[NSRCA-discussion] 18SZ throttle stick limits of travel

[Vicente Bortone]

Yes, that is correct.  I forgot details.  I think the X28 came with the
standard block that I used.  It was equivalent to make it equal to the
12X.  It has been there for many years already so I am not planning to
change it.

Best,

Vicente "Vince" Bortone
