Now i read that the French got T28 in the early sixties and modified them to the COIN-configeration and the reversal of the throttlequadrantmovement was one of the mentioned modifikations. Now my question: have Mirages or Rafales or any other airplanes this oddity also. Or became it extinct in the world. Thank You Max If not, it should have become extinct! |

I have a few hours in FENECs, the French T28 and unless they were modified
back to US configurations, the throttles where the same as the old B's and C's I flew. A Rafele I flew at Empire had a "normal" throttle configuration. Just my observation of these 2 aircraft. I can not comment if either one was modified previously.

Upon reflection, I have flown a friend's EADS Epsilon, which has the "proper" throttle movement (push for thrust), so it appears that even the French can make some progress! |
