I believe we have seen the -200 model of this aircraft before, but I think this is a -236A. I don't recall the neck twist control servo. Hopefully there are guarded switches and well-understood autopilot modes for it's use.

What I find disturbing is there doesn't appear to be an FCOM anywhere. What's Snoopy going to do in case of runaway trim?

I especially like that before takeoff, he checks that flight controls are free and correct.
