jrpowell3 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 So, the RIO's weapon steering joystick on the right of the console....I thought it folded out of the way when not in use, but I've also read that the way Academy did it was wrong. Can anyone tell me the right way? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Ghost 531 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 The Radar Control Stick retracted a little down and forward (toward the front of the aircraft, away from the RIO). It remained in the same orientation (stick pointing up) and you're correct, it was to the right of the scope just in front of the RIO's right knee. That's why it retracted, so he could get out in a hurry without needing a peg leg after he got back on the ground. The Radar Control Panel on the left side also retracted but it just pivoted on the top front edge and tilted in a little. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrpowell3 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Awesome. Thank you so much. I've been searching and searching for a definitive answer for this for quite some time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
