BTW....


The airbrakes are split aileron type. Numerous settings. Just tap it once and they open a little. Hold it down and they keep opening. You may wanna watch them working in an external view to see how they operate with key use.

Good eye! Speedbrakes are limited to 80% open when in the air. Once on the ground, they can be deployed 100%.

Haha, what ever happened to B? For breaks? Then again, what ever happened to "A" for after burner? Pre-HOTAS and AB Detent and all that good stuff.

I've got my CH Pro Peddle toe brakes set for wheel brakes. lol, I always thought "A" was for autopilot! And Hogs don't have afterburners, but then, you knew that...

I'm wondering if there is a "reset" function, or at least some way to see how far open the speedbrakes are rather than looking at the wing. If I'm too fast on a CCIP dive, for example, I might want to deploy speedbrakes and be able to retract them in a hurry for the egress. The only way I can figure out how to neutralise brake deployment precisely in a hurry is to have counted the button presses and make the same number of presses in reverse. This is not optimal!
