I love it when we begrudge progress and use an anomaly to justify our
position. To me it's akin to arguing against turbines in favor or
round engines (and if ANYONE wants to do that, it's me!). If FBW was
inherently more problematic than older systems, do you really think
that nearly all modern aircraft designs would be designed with it?
No system is perfect, and everything is weighed by a risk/benefit
analysis. In the end, FBW is the best choice for many applications.
In as much as it can fail, just like any other system, is an
unfortunate but ultimately unavoidable situation.

I guess my point is, why do we complain about progress without
providing a better solution? In this case, I believe that it's
because one does not yet exist...

Back to my corner,

Barry

Hey Barry,

Good to see you on the list.

Any progress on your 680E? Be great if you could get it to Oklahoma in
September.

Cheers

Russell

Sir Barry...
Good point there. I would guess that the next step in this evolution of
progress is to go backwards a bit... Go Greyhound anyone? Also... Are those
busses DBW now? (Drive by wire) Smile
