Chugalug,
I take your point, but much the same could be true in anything else you were flying - those pictures in the front of the P.N.s, and all those numbers, would give anybody the collywobbles !
2501 todo ? Didn't have any success with it, but it's probably just me. I find the "Jever Steam Laundry" very helpful for P.N.s. But cup-holders ! What will they think of next ? The introduction of the jet engine made life simpler in many ways. Checks amounted to "Fuel and Noise". If the engine were running, and stick and rudder worked, it would probably fly.
Of course, it was a "Walter Mitty" moment for me in the Hunter - ah, well, we all have 'em, don't we ?
Cheers, Danny.
