HI all, what do you see as unacceptable practices in our hobby, I''ll list mine,
1- pilots that only fly or land, left hand circuits
2-pilots that only fly or land right hand circuits
3-pilots that carry on board propane
4-pilots that can't trim their own plane
5-pilots that use brakes mixed with elevator, they should learn, how to use the rest of their fingers and have a dedicated brake channel.
6- pilots should only start up their turbines in a dedicated start up area.
7- pilots that don't bring a fire extinguisher to the start up area.
The purpose of this thread, is to make better pilots for 2010.

List yours or debate mine
I use brakes mixed to elevator..... has nothing to do with fingers being able to work other channels! This is MY preferred method of brake application. Perhaps YOU find this as ''unacceptable practice'' but I also dont think it is any of your concern how I choose to operate my aircraft as long as it is not in an unsafe manner.....
mixed with down elevator? I remember doing that on those front wheel brakes they used to sell using a drum and thread attached to the elevator servo. in the day...
I'm with you. What difference does it make if someone safely and effectively brakes their jets in this manner? Moreover, they may need the slider channel for something else.
