Talking

Affangu, I was nervous on my first time too. I must admit I don't come in as often as I should. (I feel as if I'm talking about church or something). It's easily the most informative forum, though. They're not such a bad bunch and they always display saintly patience when we ask the same questions time and time again. Not something you can say about some of the characters who prey on genuine humbletons on other fora.

We have a most useful feature on my wannabe jet RJ 100 (trumped up 146) called Take-off Track mode into which it automatically reverts at 80kts. This takes care of drift for you. Of course, on a windy day trying to regain the centreline, the track it defaults to might be a few degrees out! Sorry boys! I'll try to remember this thread.

I would have thought most aircraft had this feature. No?

Very funny, Scotty. Now beam up my clothes!
