- Very recently an Air Warrior squadron flew WW1 planes from the WW1 area

- at the time. :)

- Watch out for a serious bug here! The labels for the sensitivity scales
- are reversed, so to adjust pitch sensitivity, you need to select the roll
- sensitivity scale. Easy way to see what's going on: select one scale,
- set the sensitivity to 0% for all stick deflections, then fly and note
- which control axis doesn't respond to the joystick movement.
