just finished fitting slider to speed brake lever,via phidge
hi guys,just finished fitting up my speed brake lever and flaps to the phidget 8/8/8
its taken a long time as the real throttle quad is not made to connect to 60mm sliders???!!!!!! lol
any way ive just done a flight with the flaps and speed brake working and what can i say ,superb,
i left my self with to much altitude and speed and used the speed brakes to slow the aircraft and increase the rate of decent,without further increased in speed,
my question,my setup is allowing me to extend the speed brakes on a sliding scale as i pull the lever toward the flight detent , the further rearward the lever goes the spoilers rise up to full extension,is this how it works on the real aircraft,???i not i can adjust the phidgets programme to up spoilers as i hit the detent,but it was nice to control the speed using fine control,
only the throttles to do now,and boys im not looking forward to that one,??!!!!! oh yes and the reversers,god i need another beer,
should be ready to flights in the next few months,
bye for now
and happy flying,
