What are the settings for zero thrust on a NA Skymaster. My instructor dug these up a few years back and I recall keeping a copy, but now can't find it. In my 1965 Owner's Manual, there is no data...

Keep em down
My 1965 has somewhat unclear instructions on this point in the POH or rather "Owners Manual". However when you put all the pieces together, I think the better approach is to leave the gear down...

In through the out door
I thought of the critter idea, but then couldn't figure why if they found the rear door locked (ie screens in place) why they wouldn't just so to the side door (cowl flaps) or the front engine (no...
