Predator RQ-1 GCS questions
 

Can anyone describe the controls on the RQ-1 control console - what do the three levers on the left hand side do?

anyone holed up in an ISO container somewhere in the USA who can help?

reason for asking: it is a simulator project for a UK air cadet squadron.

thank you.

I think they select which medal the crew wants for that particular flight :rolleyes:

not bad ZH, I didn't think it would be too long before someone posted a response like that....I guess the medals drop out of a hatch under the control console straight into their laps?


but seriously...

More like straight onto their chests.

are they for selecting which friendly nation they are going to target for a few short rounds.....??

or are they the volume controls for the very loud stereo that plays the Top Gun soundtrack to cheer them up!!:E

Maybe flaps, undercarriage and throttle?

Who cares!

Important thing to ask is why does he need to wear a growbag?

Does he need a full aircrew medical?

Does he get flying pay?

Duncan Sandys must be smiling in his grave!

Mgdaviso - get your cadets airborne in those Vigilants and Tutors before Bliar gets rid of those too.

many thanks SBG!

I do - at every available opportunity.... I know it may be a sore point with many, but I see it that the RAF is getting predators, so why not set up our own little simulator - anything that keeps the kids interested in stuff that flys (by whatever means) is good to me!
