    Hi all, just started flying the Warrior again after a break, and I've noticed the 2 HOBBS meters do not agree. Which one is the actual aircraft hours?

    As long as I'm here, I also can't remember which slider is heat and which is air in the cabin heat controls.

    Thanks!

    @katchaplin One is probably the hobbs time (number of hours the engine is running) and the other is tach time (the one that is less, because it depends on the RPM of the engine).

    For example, if the engine is running at 25% of average cruise RPM (e.g. on the ramp), the tach time will be accumulating at 1/4 the rate of the hobbs time).

    Not sure about the levers, I always forget too and just enable the tooltips temporarily to figure it out

    @n293wk Great, thanks, and good advice on the heater. I'll do that next flight.
