Omg, that's going to feel so weird flying like that with the split throttles.....

[AG-51_Razor]

I was thinking that the little gray slider to the right of the throttles would make a good nozel control but I guess that the left throttle lever might be a better choice.

[AG-51_Sabot]

I was thinking of one of the rotaries on the X55

[Apache600]

@Sabot.  Yeah, I'll be using that bottom thumb rotary on the X-55 for nozzle adjustment.  And probably one of the rotaries on the base to set to nozzle stop
@Razor, that little grey lever on the Warthog, does it roll smoothly through it's whole range or have detents?

[AG-51_Glider]

@Razor, that little grey lever on the Warthog, does it roll smoothly through it's whole range or have detents?

No it is smooth no detents. I will be using the left throttle myself as I use the gray lever for Zoom view.

[AG-51_Razor]

There is actually a small detent at mid travel, which is where I would want the nozel to stop for the SHORT TAKEOFF position and further aft would be for the hover position. All conjecture at this point.

Check out the NavFLIR mode  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2I63cYdliU&index=14&list=WL

[VT-51_Snooch]

I honestly can not say which will be more exciting......an AV-8B night hover landing on a carrier or catching a wire with the F/A-18....

I will bet you a bottle of your favorite adult beverage that it will be harder to do in the Harrier than the Hornet!!
