These notes are a guide for the non standard keys and additions
The recommended flight parameters listed below are intended to give approximations for flights at maximum takeoff or landing weight on a day with International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) conditions.
The Reference speeds and checklists are located on the Kneeboard. To access the Kneeboard while flying, press F10, or select the Aircraft menu, and then choose Kneeboard.
By default, this aircraft has full fuel and payload (2 pilots and stores).
Engine Startup
By default when you begin a flight the engines are running ,it is possible to initiate an auto-start-up sequence by pressing CTRL+E on your keyboard. If you want to do the start-up procedures manually, follow the checklist procedures on the Kneeboard. See the Panel info for switch locations

Taxing and Takoff
Taxi: This Aircraft has no brakes, so small genal movements on throttle using
full up elevator to slow excessive speed and rudder to steer
Take Off : Smoothly increase throttle to full using rudder to keep centred down
runway, at around 35 knots tail should come up (depending on load) at around
45knts ease back on stick and start climb
Genral Flying
Automatic wing slats will open and close depending on Angle of Attack and
speed, these are lockable by using the / (airbrake) key
This is recommended for Aerobatics and Spin Testing
Spins :Check slats are in the locked position (lever lower right side of cockpit
is full forward)
Gain sufficient hight reduce throttle to min and slowly raise nose above horizon
as stall horn sounds/nose drops
kick in full right rudder recover by applying left rudder until level and ease
back on stick
Loops: Check slats are in the locked position Wings level nose below horizon
until speed over 95 knots,
ease back on stick until fully back and hold watch for swing over the top due to
engine neg G cut out.
Landing
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing :D
