Control Standardisation
Now that many of you have been through ab-initio on rudder control and many other interesting aspects re instinctive control, consider :-
The wing sweep control for the F-111 is a fore and aft slider on the left side of the crew module. Should you slide the control forward to sweep wings back, for higher speed, or the other way round to correspond to to wing movement?
GD had it one way to start with and then changed their mind.
Then an interesting aspect on the use of elevator trim tabs.
Friend was SO close to being caught out with an unintentional beyond aft limit cg. On take off nose pitched up and was hardly held with full forward stick and trim. Increasing speed regained enough elevator power to overcome pitching up. But reflect on this as it might save your skin someday.
He had enough strength to hold stick forward to the stop. Then he should have wound on nose UP trim providing him with increased elevator.
