Amazing how little happened while I was randomly flipping switches and pressing buttons in there after Painlesss' landing   :)

It's a hoot though, that thing...

So, these are the I items got under contriol now:

- Instrument and cockpit lighting

 - Flares (In pairs or all in one go)

- Chaffs

- Emergency Canopy release.

- Reading the fuel gage

- Frantically pressing the 'Master Caution' light.
