November 7, 200421 yr Having just got this fine aeroplane working I flew from Jersey (EGJJ).I had some problems during the departure as I couldn't work out how the ADF display functions. The ORTAC 1A departure calls for a straight ahead climb with a right turn onto ALD NDB QDM 015. This foxed me as I couldn't get a bearing to ALD from the gauge as I can rotate the dial to any bearing I wish. Any clues as to what I should be doing here please?Andrew Luck18 miles SW EGSH

November 8, 200421 yr Thanks for that. Guess I've got too used to RMIs that remove the requirement to rotate the compass ring. Threw me for a while.Useful site.Andrew Luck18 miles SW EGSH
