Red Rocket rocks!



Cockpit view of the Red Rocket as we head out from Virginia with the Bluff and the harbour coming into view. The cockpit sports dual controls and twin MGL Odyssey Voyager glass efis on-board computers.. note the Bluff and harbour depicted on the gps. The red handle in the middle is the emergency parachute mechanism that shoots a parachute out by rocket blast in the event of deployment.

The blue knob handles the constant speed/variable pitch propellor and pressing F1, then 2 activates the auto-pilot, useful if you need to have that cup of coffee or are "temporarily uncertain of one's position" aka lost ha ha.
