Beagle, how right you are regarding 300-ser. aircraft in "cruise". The "cruise/take-off" limiting switch (yes -switch! ) was mounted on the throttle quadrant and wire locked in "cruise". I do remember, however, when giving displays overseas with friendly crew chiefs, that frequently the wire locking was "broken" and the switch was in the take-off position. Who was I to change it?!!! glad 655 is now "S", many happy memories! Bill
