hoverbover:
Thanks for that info' I was kind of alluding to the fact that I wasn't really aware or sure of what happened with these beasts, having never flown one. I felt that they might present a different set of problems and was kind of hoping that someone would jump on my ignorance a sort me out - so I am grateful for your advice.
Out of interest: for those who may have had a TR CONTROL problem (as opposed t failure) the techiques I describe work - having had a cockpit floor full of Seagull and derision wedged firmly amongst the pedals of a Gazelle during a low level sortie. Luckily -the problem it gave me enabled me to return for a slow speed running landing which was all very benign .....the greatest shock is a facefull of feathers, a facewash of Seagull blood but the remains made for good burgers at lunch!
