Flying tips:

* Help is available in the CHECK and REF lists of the kneeboard during (and before) flight.

* Use Shift-E to open the rear loading ramp. NOTE, when the ramp is lowered in flight the ramp stops at the horizontal, air drop, position. 
When the wheels are on the ground the ramp lowers to ground level.

* Shift-E2 opens the side doors.

* Spoilers/airbrakes operate with the / key.

* The spinning propellers display best in flight when the prop pitch is reduced a little ( Ctrl-F2)

* To raise your seat higher in the VC - press CTRL+ENTER

* For best frame rates...Keep POPUP Windows closed when not in use.

* For start up and taxi set fuel levers (orange) to LOW. For take-off and flight set to HIGH.

* Set elevator trim to 00 for normal take-off...adjust as required for climb and cruise.

* For short take-off use 2 notches of flap and set trim to 02

* For best economical cruise set power levers (throttles) for 70% torque and prop levers (black) to 75% RPM.

* This aircraft is renowned for it's short field take-off & landing capability and , although it's not
officially sanctioned, display pilots use reverse thrust before touchdown to make steep approaches & very short landings.
Try it, but be prepared to disentangle yourself from the wreckage on your first few attempts. The trick is to manage the power,
flaps and air brakes during a steep approach so that you have about 80 kts IAS when you cross the runway threshold in level flight
at 10 feet altitude. Less height or speed and you'll land short in the weeds or stall, more height and speed and you'll probably  
overshoot short bush airstrips. Use reverse thrust immmediately on touch down, or a few seconds before if you're brave.

* Important... If using AUTOSTART.... Check to make sure the alternators are switched to ON after engine start.
