I believe the correct technique is to stand patiently beside your colleague who's doing the fit, and after about five minutes suggest that he should stop f***ing about and get the duals fitted 'cos you're getting cold...

Droopy,

Thats just cruel! Fun though, especially when the collective lever gets slung across the ramp and your friend spits his dummy out!!!

fitting Dual controls in ECs

Probably one needs to have a PhD to figure out how to install these things

Ours can be fitted quite easily now...........as long as you're fairly slim

Cyclic,

Why not leave the collective in? Half the fuss then.

Or why not fly with the duals in all the time and stick the bobbies in the back.

They were definitely designed by someone with ladies' hands instead of sausages for fingers!

Hi Floater, I've left them in for over a week now because I'm trying to encourage the re-growth of skin on my knuckles. We've dumped the Bobbies in the back too but only because the front monitor started to cough out smoke and fumes!
Someone told me about the 120, you need to be a six inch, three fingered alien with suckers on the end to so I've heard

With respect that is bad English, you cannot use the words "Robinson" and "good machine" in the same sentence without being grammatically incorrect.
