HELP PLEASE READ!!!!! Memory Lapse

Postby iggyebay0075 » Tue Sep 21, 2004 6:13 am

I totally forget what this thing is called -blanking today- but it happens when you are landing and you press some button and the engines go in reverse to help the plane slow down.  Can someone please remind me on what this is called.  Also what the keyboard key for this control is.  Thanks.

Thanks so much, I was going insane, you know what its like when you forget the simplest things and its on the tip of your tongue.  I knew it was something like thrust reversers. I was thinking afterburner, I knew it was wrong but whatever.

Is that a home-built one?  If so, looks nice!

I plan to build one...or not...;D

Depends on how well I can motivate myself....

Also, a throttle quadrant isn't very useful on a single-engine, or a 3M plane (or am I wrong) ???
