Anyone who installs a flamin' FMC in a PA18 seriously needs
his arse kicked, and a review of why he is flying with one in
what is really a nice pilot's aeroplane.

It took me a while to accept I had to carry a xponder in mine.
And the GPS stays off or gets thrown out before flight - just a
WAC, clock, T&B and compass is all that's needed. The fancy
bull!!!! I leave in the 320 suck squirt - where it belongs.

Um....yer quite right BOAC - I thought "FS" was some new Honeywell acronym.

PS - by any chance you current on the original MS Combat
flight sim? I've a question on kill rates on certain headings.

Never even used it, I'm afraid, but I'll meet you over xxx at 5000ft and we'll have a go.
