Most important control
Radio transmit Hey, I'm a "Use the radio, dammit!" guy from way back -- but even I wouldn't rate the transmit button as my "most important control"... Maybe number three or so... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

The little knob on the altimeter gets my vote. Don

You should be able to fly using ailerons and trim without the elevator. I had one instructor have me land doing just that. The AOPA even put out a video on doing it. I believe certification requires that the elevator not be a single failure point. Home builts OTOH may not necessarily have that advantage. -The original poster Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com

I dunno that I would want to have to land, but I did manage to fly about an hour with just the trim and skooching back and forth between the left and right seats.
