Some of the cyclics on the old Hueys but also the AStars have all kinds of extra buttons we don't use.
I'm sure some are for guns and rockets....
(I'd like to have at least a few rockets....got a couple of targets)

Well soiunds like a good project for you Mike.  Use an unused button and mount that old AR of yours.  Might need a bigger clip though.

It'd be cool to have some sort of a set of mini-incindiary rockets to start backfires or burn off little pockets ...

Once upon a time, someone told me what that switch was intended for, but I forgot it and now I have no clue.  Since I never have used it, it gets ignored.  Is there anyone in the forum who could help enlighten me?  Hehe.

Another great strip, guys!   |:)\ ::bow::

First thing that comes to mind is autopilot "sync" button for the flight director when hand flying.  Another button sometimes on yokes is for the transponder ident function.
