  1. Blame AP but I'm having fun with this now. This thing is just loaded with features: Coarse setter (not to be confused with course setter) - Large adjustments to accommodate different sticks. Tension cut-out (not to be confused with boost cut out) - Emergency release 24 thread pitch control (not to be confused with prop pitch control) -Tension fine tuning. It's made with simulation grade hardware using period correct production standards (cobbled together from bits lying about the repair bay, all weld splatter, flash, scale, burrs, sharp edges, overspray, underspray, and grease left for that "front line operational squadron" feel). Extensively tested and endorsed by an actual simulated pilot. Versatile, works for elevator or aileron trim on many different aircraft in all flight sims. Windows 10 compatible Invulnerable to enemy fire. Light weight, won't adversely affect the performance of your aircraft.

  2. Yes Swep, the wheel does work in CLoD(and it has a pitch wheel too- and throttle) and everything else too, it's mechanical. Works a little too well. The smallest input there is too much and you gently go into a left bank instead of right. It does work to preload the stick left with the wheel then use the trim device to level. Really though, I wasn't so much thinking of myself as those who complained about the heavy wing. Most folks don't have the same stick and I wanted to see how easy it is to work around the shortcomings of the game. Version 1 with the elastic and pencil works pretty well. I like to tinker with stuff like this so the MKII version was a natural progression. The real credit goes to some forgotten Russian who first thought to put a bungee cord, or more likely some landing gear shock cord on his I-16 as an elevator trim device, where I first got the idea. And for the rest of you .. I'll work on a rear view mirror attachment, something we could really use.

  4. It wás a one off experimental indeed... but it survived, it's in the US National Air and Space Museum. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2404564-Abrams-P-1-Explorer

  5. So you found one example of an experimental plane, that only one was manufactured that eventually crashed and the only photo found was discovered 80 years later in a Dutch museeum? Sorry, just joking Hard bugger fuggler.
