glhcarl:
Anyone with an L-1011 Maintenance Manual has more than enough information to reverse engineer the L-1011 Direct Lift Control (DLC) system. However, without a flying stabilizer like the TriStar DLC is just going to function like it does on the TriStar.
That does not quite make sense. Sounds like you are saying DLC without a flying stabilizer is going to function just like the TriStar with a flying stabilizer.
Or, am I reading it wrong?
I have a lot of time in the 1011 but I hardly had a maintenance or engineering level of knowledge. I sure did learn how to make the best use of DLC, though, when hand-flying an approach and landing (which we did a whole lot in those days.)
