What do u mean by an anorak ?

How much for radio and where ?

Ever used flaps before or lowered a landing gear ?

Toureman

"anorak" is a term for Train spotting enthusiasts! I am a Flight Sim anorak so don't be offended.

Radios from �5 upwards. Maplins, ebay.

More times than I can remember, but I have always lowered all the landing gear not just one.

Actually, civil aircraft frequencies are VHF Very High Frequencies, not "low" frequencies...
