The control panel is a direct
(DX) exchange item which means
you can't repair anything on it.
You can replace the press-to-test
lights, but support's got to fix
or replace anything else you find
wrong.

 The gunner's likely to
kick heck our of this
switch on a hot mis-
sion, so double
check it every time.

 It should be down
when the Cobra's on the
ground to keep the gun
from being driven into
the ground. But the gun-
ner wants to make sure
he puts it up after mis-
sion takeoff or he won't
be able to depress the
gun all the way.

LENS Cracked, dirty,
scratched.


 Keep the lens clean, watch those fingerprints. If
you can't get hold of lens tissue, a couple of small
arms cleaning swabs will do the trick. Use 2 patches
between your fingers so that the smooth sides are
against the glass. The outside one will absorb the
oils and acids from your sweaty fingers; the inside
one will buff the glass. But never use newspaper-
this'd smear the lens, if not scratch it.

 S You Gunner (Sir!). and evenrbody
 else who works around this nest, make
 S sure those 2 elevation gimbal locking
 pins are shoved in place when the

 SOtherwise the chopper's windows and

 apt to get hurt.
