Sgt_Fresh Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 https://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad130/Sgt_Fresh/zDCSDeath.jpg[/url https://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad130/Sgt_Fresh/zDCSDeath.jpg I cant trim out the rear stabilizers. Cycle thru auto flaps does not correct. Constant pressing or tapping or holding down trim key eventually creates a reverse stabilizer full up position. The F18 eventually runs out of fuel using full afterburner or stall out crash. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mnemonic Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Reset FCS on a ground, half flaps, take off trim button, then fly. If you do T/O trim on auto flaps - strange things could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
