Starting

  1. Press { and } once each--so that both L and R magneto switches are in center position.
  2. Hold the s key for several seconds until the engine catches.

Take Off

  1. 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.

  1. 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
