Hi Amy

I have seen the sticks in several planes the most interesting is the DR1 it has really two handles on the top side by side. this one has two throttles one on the left side of the cockpit wall and one on the stick as the engine isn't original in this one I can't say for sure that it belongs there, But attention to detail on this plane is very good. The guns are right where you would normally expect the instrument panal and could be easily serviced or fired manually. the compass is mounted by your right knee. Frank Talman did not like these big handles on the stick claiming the banged his knees in manouvers. His book has several cockpit pic's.

The Se5 has two flat pushbuttons in a ring on top of the stick which can be fired independently or together with one thumb. The top gun can be brought back on a track and serviced but I doubt that one could reach the lower gun at all.

On the Neiuport 28 the guns are on the left side of the fusalage and easily reached from the cockpit there is a big lever there that I believe is only for charging. This replica is not so good that I would believe the details hope this helped VBR Brad
