. .. Here again I'm going on what I've read. "Clearly identified" isn't the point--my understanding is that both the engine controls and the flap/gear handles are reversed from a standard setup. Flap and gear are different from others, engine controls are standard. Ah. OK, half of what I'd heard was true. I think I could certainly live w/ the gear & flaps in "different" places--the thought of reversed engine controls was a deal breaker, but that's apparently not true. On the gear/flaps--I'm guessing you got used to that pretty quickly and never give it a second thought. I seem to recall reading somewhere about that contributing to gear-up on the runway (during a T&G?) or something. I guess that would only apply to someone brand-new to the airplane or someone switching between airplanes. Good food for thought. Thanks! -- Doug "Where am I to go/Now that I've gone too far?" -- Golden Earring, "Twilight Zone" (my email is spam-proofed; read the address and make the appropriate change to contact me) |

You get used to what you're flying. Personally I like everything to the left of the yoke, except the gear. That way I can fiddle with anything I want at any time while telling myself to "stay left of the yoke." |
