Figure 94: Throttle Control handle with twist grip
When the twist grip is positioned to full counter-clockwise, the indicator points to 2400 feet on the
dial. As the grip is turned, the range dial indicator moves to show the set target range.
As the aircraft is maneuvered to place and keep the dot on the enemy, the twist grip is turned to
continually adjust the size of the reticle of diamonds, so that the target is surrounded by the inner
points of the diamonds. The dot must be kept on target for a duration of one second before firing to
give the sight time to calculate the correct lead angle.
An imaginary circle should be visualized to connect the inner points of the diamonds to create a
continuous aiming reticle.
Figure 95: Gyro Sight
When preparing for an engagement, the twist grip should be set to the minimum range of 600 feet.
The same should be done when switching from one target to another.
When beginning to aim at a target, the range should be maintained at the minimum setting until the
dot is at or near the target. Then the twist grip is used to set the correct range by framing the target
