Yea, your going to love the dog. you won't need to work your arms anymore at the gym. yanking and banking the 80 around will provide all the definition you need. crosswind landings with an unpowered rudder. woohoo!

yo Deez.... unless the "rudder control manual" lever is pulled, the rudder is powered by the right hydraulic system. Ailerons/elevator, you're right, it's a great workout!

OK, recurrent passed yet again!

uh.......? yea that's what i meant by "unpowered rudder". a 30 crosswind with the yellow rudder control manual lever in the aft position. I actually had to do this a while back. I didn't mean to imply that the rudder is normally unpowered. And to be totally correct the elevator is powered/assisted in some situations as well, but not usually. Class dismissed! on to electrical!

Oh man.... don't EVEN go there!

Deez, you had to do an unpowered xwind landing... dang, you da bomb! You are now officially excused from the leg press machine at the gym. Oh, and if you have to use elevator power assist on approach, you're neck deep in a river of $hit and here comes a wave!
