Just a quick note to let folks know that I've posted a quick video on performing the cobra on the Flankertraining.com YouTube Channel:

Great video as always!

The focus on the real procedure relative to the switch position is a nice touch.

 

Thanks Rich.

Thanks Rich.

 

That brings up a question -- I could have sworn I read somewhere on the forums here that the fly-by-wire system can be quickly disengaged by pressing the red button on the flightstick in the real Su-27. Wouldn't that be what the pilots would use during flight instead of that rather difficult to access switch on the left panel?

According to the Su-27sk manual the red button switches the autopilot off.

Ah, okay then. Thanks for the info. :)

Thanks, folks. Glad you've enjoyed it.

As already noted, that button is for something else. The Direct Control switch is where it can't accidentally be activated. Very bad things happen when you are given direct control of the aircraft and aren't ready for it. :)
