About the DB-3B, and DB-3F posted earlier, both have a note that says that the plane have emergency flight controls (throttle and stick only) for the bombardier crewman.
What are the maneuvers that the backup crewman can’t do with emergency flight controls (throttle and stick only) ?
I suppose slip/skid, snap rolls and hammerheads (he have no rudder) ?
I haven't defined that yet. Really not necessary. Imagine, only compass, limited stick and pwer control.
I would say:
EZ rates only for truns and transitions.
No maneuvers except slips okay (no skids).
No flap control, no gear control, no instruments other than compass gear.
Perhaps useful to get back to friendly area for bail out, or belly landing. Not much else. Maybe fly plane while pilot takes a pee. :-)
