Well not remembering which jet leaves the field wide open...but if it

I thought of that, but this was larger ... and you wouldn't normally
use rudder trim to turn the aircraft.

I guess it could be a manual turn controller for the autopilot, as Bob
said, but I wonder how it was used and why it's gone now.


Keeep wondering fjukktard.

Unless you send me the 500, of course.
