14. To stop your head from hurting when you clatter it on the canopy during all the flick manoeuvres we're no longer allowed to do 'cos some halfwit doesn't know how to write an aircraft manual!!!!!
So that when you bang your head against something at the frustration of having a dismal glider-aileron induced roll rate, it doesn't hurt!
Of course, Wholi', had someone specified a decent rate of roll in the first place you wouldn't need to use techniques banned throughout the rest of Part Time Command in order to persuade the little $od to roll at an acceptable rate!! Specifying independant attitude systems, normal military aerobatic manoeuvres, no restrictions on fuel load would have been a tad handy as well, I understand.

I need to resurrect this just to clarify a point!
Previously, I said: "To stop your head from hurting when you clatter it on the canopy during all the flick manoeuvres we're no longer allowed to do 'cos some halfwit doesn't know how to write an aircraft manual!!!!!"
It was - quite rightly - pointed out to me that this was a tad ambiguous. What the words "aircraft manual" refer to is the Grob Manufacturer's Flight Manual. The Aircrew Manual, produced by the RAF, is a good document with which I have no problems. Happy now RM??
