Tiger-II Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Hi, There are two parts to this, so please read carefully! Maybe it is a procedural issue, but I seem unable to do anything about it... 1) When starting the jet and finally moving the wings to 20 degrees, I move the lever first to the forward position, then push it in. The wings start to unfold, but then when I start to set the manual bug to fully forward, the bug jumps back to 68 degrees and the wings fold in again, then they unfold as the manual bug moves to 20 degrees. As I understand it, the bug should move to 20 degrees due to the handle being OUT initially. Once the wings are extended I set AUTO mode. 2) Earlier today, the wings were extended for takeoff (carrier departure) and set to AUTO. Everything looked good, except they failed to sweep back as the aircraft accelerated. I had to manually set the wings to manual, then AUTO, then they moved back as they should. First time I have seen #2, but #1 occurs every start-up for me.

You have to press the Master Rest button after closing the Wing Sweep Cover. Its located to the right of the Fuel Probe Switch near your left knee.

I'm doing that before moving the wings. Motorola 68000 | 1 Mb | Debug port "When performing a forced landing, fly the aircraft as far into the crash as possible." - Bob Hoover.
