Aernov Posted Saturday at 10:33 AM Posted Saturday at 10:33 AM P-47 Radio controller master switch and canopy handle.trk 1) Manually closing/opening the canopy via right canopy lock lever actuates VHF master mode switch to REM position temporarily, then it jumps to R position and stays there until canopy lock handle is clicked again (then it momentarily jumps to REM and returns to R again) or until it is placed manually to T position with left click (right clicking the switch after it was actuated by canopy lock handle doesn't set it to REM). I tested it in P-47D-40, not sure this is present in earlier models. P-47 Radio controller T lock lever issue.trk 2) The small lever that, when placed in aft position, should prevent master switch from staying in Transmit position unless it is actively held there by the pilot, in addition to it's normal function, prevents selection of REMote mode completely and can't be moved aft if the mode switch is set to REM mode. 3) Controller unit in P-47 has no button/switch labels (channel letters, mode switch position names etc.).
