I > believe i am the only female who fly that model in here I had a great laugh at the field one day when a couple of professional pilots came over to get a try at gliding. They were put into an ASK-21 with an instructor and were told how to act on towing, then got going. What a mess! They dangled up-down and sideways as you would not believe! Turns out that an ASK-21 is a lot different from an MD-80 in terms of sensitivity and they also did not realize the care you need in tow. > > > I would probably also want to install pedals in such a case, now I > > only > > have the twist of the joystick and that does not really > match a rudder > > control via the feet for quick response during tow takeoff.... > > > >>> again. tell her that this is your first time and the > person if she > >>> is worth her salt wil be gentle . > I have to get this simulation stuff working for myself first before exposing me to the mock and ridicule of the Internet.
