Great writeup Doug. Your problem statement in the opening paragraphs could well have been written by me!
Now, a quick question: how are you managing switching between flight and race configurations? I'm particularly interested in how long/laborious the cockpit reconfig is, and if you have attempted/managed using your G27 pedals for flight (thus eliminating a step from the re-config procedure).
Hi Hap! I've done the switch back and forth a few times, but not enough to fully explore the different setup options. That's one of the reasons why there will be a extended-use follow-up next month. The goal is to go from flight to race in under 5 minutes including shutdown and start-up.
