[simpits-tech] LVDT's Anyone ? (New Projects)

[Rick Davis]

Interesting.

Both nice little run abouts.

Thinking about it, didn't the Yoke in the Concord have a little side stick 
on it or something? Just a little 6" stick that juts out from the Yoke body 
on the right?

I see Austin has included the Concord in X-Plane now. Must try it sometime. 
One thing you may be able to clear up, because I've been told this but don't 
know how much credence to apply to it, that the Concord actually flew by 
shifting fuel (weight) from forward to rear, and right wing to left wing? 
Any truth to that? Theory being that it flew so fast ailerons were 
ineffective (or prone to being blown to bits) so when you turn the Yoke 
left, pumps transfer fuel from the right wing to the left wing.

Sounds bizaar, but possible?
