Starting
Press { and } once each--so that both L and R magneto switches are in center position.
Hold the s key for several seconds until the engine catches. \
Take Off
Zoom the view out so you can see the edges of the runway with your peripheral vision. As you speed up, gently pull back on the stick - this avoids the spin-out that otherwise happens around 40-45 MPH. As you lift off, about 45 MPH, be prepared to counter the torque of the engines with your ailerons.
The blip switch (b) disengages both magnetos and cuts power.
Engaging either R or L brake (via keyboard, joystick, or rudder/pedals)
also engages the blip switch. Releasing the brake (or b key) releases
the blip switch.
Approach
Speed 55 MPH IAS Throttle OPEN Use the blip switch to control speed NOT throttle blip switch ON/OFF as required touchdown speed: 50-55 MPH IAS stall speed 48 MPH IAS
