Is it a habit we prefer mechnical instruments?

Ok, I have a confession to make. I have wild dreams of making my own
flying "vehicle". Yes I know, I'm a lune, but being a lune has never
stopped a man from dreaming.
Here, we call that "fly by wire", and for a small airplane, there is no
possible way to make that lighter than you could make conventional controls.
You will need to have back-up, triple redundancy; all of the controls
multiplied times three will start to get heavy.
You need to look at, and study AC 43.13-1B, found at faa.gov under Advisory
Circulars. It shows how to build or repair airplanes, in an accepted,
airworthy manner.
Controls built like that will be much lighter, and more reliable than you
could build fly by wire for small aircraft.
Good luck on your dream, and getting to be allowed to do that, in China.
