TTHD,thought 3-pt. landing in Wx was `tail-left-right`,due t/r roll etc....and I know a 22 Nav trapper who managed to break a tailwheel off during a t/o or ldg.....!

Crab...the anticipator `tilts` the `droop slope` to the right,above the `knee` to give `droop cancelling`,and no `rate of change ` signal, as per Wx...unless it`s all changed! (RV1,2,3,?)

AS-AE,the h-p cocks are electrically operated and can stick between open/closed especially if you tried first start of the day without a GPU,/weak batteries,etc,so just batt, no1 computor,1 fuel pump to `prime` the line,then`off`, then start and open h-p at 5000rpm.If the PTIT rise normal,ok..if its heading for 400 fast,chop h-p/l-p,right off(fully off),otherwise,it`ll be expensive !!!
Are the `blue` computors Mk 1a s/2/3 ? as mk1a had problems with the initial response/transient droop if you pulled one back/engine failure.Comments ?Syc
