| A device to lock the flybar at 90 degrees to the mainshaft. The only way to be even close to accurate with a pitch guage and the reason that some flyers come up with some outlandish pitch figure, they don't use one. As for leaving it on, did that too many time. Fly a flight with loops and rolls, come back in and find the flybar lock still on. It makes you feel silly, but I have found dozens of other ways to feel silly. If you can think of if, I've probably done it. Just yesterday, someone started talking to me as I started my Raptor. When I carried it out and went to take off, I found that I had not turned on the reciever switch, the silly thing just sat there when I gave it throttle. You would think after all this time I would learn. At least I can blame it on my "Sometimers" kicking in. |
