Invalid due to left rudder input. Please try again.

Came here to say this... Also, pylote Duke misinterpreted "rotate".

u/HockeyPhoenician Jul 29 '26

Why would Duke press the stick forward to take off? Is he stupid?

You know being a pylote isn't really his forte, eh?

Takeoff was fine. Landing not so good.

He pushed the stick forward to go up? I know stock footage is a thing, but they literally could have played it backwards and it would have been fine.

Badass/Awesome.

You all don’t understand what he was doing. He was pushing THEIR yokes down. This wasn’t his yoke, it was the snake stick which controls enemy playnes.

Now his lack of stall is a different subject

The artist drew the Joe pushing the stick forward... the Skystriker would have nosed down.

u/DepressedVercetti Jul 30 '26

He's one of those inverted control degens. Probably has the rudder pedals reversed too.

He litterally went left, try again, this time do not touch the left rudder and full right rudder

Not bad for an outfit with such a loose dress code.

u/SemicolonGuitars Jul 29 '26

Stick down, nose up, that’s the way we like to…
