 Almost, but you missed the nav displays. Airspeed, attitude, altimeter, nav 1, turn coordinator, horizontal situation indicator, vertical speed indicator and nav 2. It's such a simple little plane once you know what's up...you've got only 2 main engine controls, plus flaps, lights, mags, primer, carb heat, cabin heat, and trim and that's basically it.

 What? I mean, we don't say "zed" but that's about it...forget turning off the carb heat, just kill the engine man! Razz DO IT!

 Oh, right. How do you guys say the "-" in that? Or do you just ignore it...

 Yeah, same here. I mean, on initial contact you might want to say November84DeltaLima just for clarification, but you could cut it down to 4DeltaLima if you really wanted. The PIC I was flying with just used 84DeltaLima as it's only 4 letters, and it flows off the tongue well Razz

 Hella. WAY more responsive than I thought, particularly at maneuvering speed.
