As mentioned by HHS, here is a Cessna POH in .pdf format: http://www.redskyventures.org/doc/cessna-poh/C172N-1978-POH-S1to7-scanned.pdf Pages 7-6 and 7-7 have an annotated diagram of the instrument panel. That's pdf page 57. The trim indicator is a thick white wire that sticks out of the black slot about 1 cm to the left of the trim wheel. Nose-UP trim is represented by the wire being LOWER int the slot. That's logical if you think that you are moving the back of the wheel, while the nose is in front of the wheel. Nominal takeoff trim is near the middle of the range. Real-world takeoff trim with only the front seats occupied is a little more nose-up than that. >> 24 :: c172p fuel caps > Modelling issue - easy to resolve. What colour should they be? Light gray would be fine. Just something to contrast with the color of the wing. And if you want to get fancy, maybe dark gray on the vertical cylindrical sides of the cap, and lighter gray on the top disk..... A 3x decrease in the height of the cylinder, relative to what's currently used for the main body of the cap, would probably look about right. >>> 15 :: c172p parking brake > Good point - I'll get this on the todo list.

See item 37 on the aforementioned diagram. It rotates around its starboard end, above the "7" in the "37". The axis of rotation is also the axis of pull; it's a rod in a sleeve. It pulls out pretty much parallel to the aircraft X axis. If that's not clear enough, please re-ask the question. =============== Other questions have been noted, but I don't have time to answer them right now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
