The Sperry series autopilots on the 7-deuce had a largish knob in the
center of the autopilot control panel on the pedestal to force the
aircraft into a coordinated turn. The knob was about the diameter of
a beer can and about a cigarette pack high. THey were indented about
the center arrow so that your had fit onto the knob nicely.


That sounds like it! Thanks. Except I don't know what a 7-deuce is.


of course you don't fjukktard. You don't even know what an autopilot or
a co-ordinated turn is.

Fjukkwit.
