Yup.. had a chance to fly the release model without looking at the flaps and there is a pronounced yaw to the right. It's no hassle on takeoff but a bit of a bu@@er if you want to fly in a straight line hands off. Engines are all running at the same rpm and fuel burn is even :) We had this years ago on the Dove.. but it flew slightly left rather than right. Not quite sure how Brian Withers dialled it out (he never said) *-)

It's absolutely true Joe ;) I only D\L the release model yesterday afternoon and flew it for an hour, mainly from the outside, trying to see if the flaps gave in. The second time was this morning looking for the RH pull and the third time to check Brians fix :) I'm now pondering how to remove the snow which is settling again.. nicely illustrated falling in Darren's screenie 8) I'm only about 28miles from Brize as the crow flies :worried:

Is there a click spot somewhere to hide the yoke, I can't get to the heading adjuster on the HSI without a lot of contortions?

Hello Mate..

Theres a small panel on the LH side of the VC which offers various functions.. one of which I'm pretty sure is to hide the yoke. I'll go and have a look now just to make sure ;)
EDIT.. Confirmed. Pan round to the left and down just a tad. You'll see 3 white round control switches and fwd of that a rectangular panel with 1 up/down switch and 5 rectangular display/hide buttons. The up/down switch is hide/display pilots yoke ;) These will display useage if you hold the cursor over them :)
