Hi,

Old thread but anyway.
I got interested to see what Class II was in US so I did some search and found the various classes (I, II and III) and what they allowed in each class.
Class I = rudder only, Class II = rudder+elevator, Class III = rudder+elevator+aileron.
No throttle control as far as I understand.
Bem,
Class I consisted of rudder and throttle, no nose wheel steering allowed. Class II was rudder, elevator, throttle and nose wheel steering connected to the rudder servo. Class III was aileron, elevator and rudder with nose wheel steering connected to the rudder servo. There was also a nose wheel brake actuated by a cable connected to the "down" movement of the elevator servo. Proto taxi to and from the "hanger" was part of the scoring system.
