Title: P38 Dive Brake indicator
Post by: FTJR on February 07, 2005, 03:12:36 AM: Is it the way I 've set it up or is the dive brake indicator light all but impossible to see?

I used to use the L as the perfect jabo platform as with the dive brake engaged I can dive nearly verticle on the target from altitude without a bout of the compression fatality syndrome. I can't find an indicater in the new L instrument panel.

All the Best...
