You read a few things that you don't understand and then think you're an expert. In reality, and as you keep proving, you don't know ****. I read things, and I learn very fast, and that bothers a lot of people. But that's not my fault. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

I think overall, modern electronic engine systems are MUCH more reliable than old purely mechanical systems. Back to a car anecdote - when I was a student, I had an old (1969) Mini. It had simple points-and-condenser ignition control - all completely mechanical. No doubt Lucas. It is said that if Lucas made guns wars wouldn't work either. :- Yeah, the 'Prince of Darkness' was certainly prevalent on the Mini - but it wasn't just cars with Lucas electrics that suffered this sort of reliability in the bad old days. Incidentally, my (very reliable) Audi is all Lucas electronics! (I was quite surprised when I lifted the hood the first time). Lucas logos everywhere, but it's not let me down. -- Yes, the Reply-To email address is valid. Oolite-Linux: an Elite tribute: http://oolite-linux.berlios.de |

Get back to us when you do. There seems to be great variability in autopilot implementations, There's almost none. A servo grabs a cable and pushes/pulls. and it is certainly possible to design one that does not move the yoke. It's possible to design anything. But the yoke is directly connected to the control surface by a cable. How the hell are you going to move a control surface without moving the yoke? Yes, really. It seems that it would take quite a bit of stretching around the windows to see exactly what the ailerons are doing on both wings, It doesn't. |

Have you flown even one? Since they are all different, flying one isn't necessarily much better than flying none, with respect to aircraft one hasn't flown. There's almost none. A servo grabs a cable and pushes/pulls. You haven't used autopilots on large jets, have you? It's possible to design anything. But the yoke is directly connected to the control surface by a cable. How the hell are you going to move a control surface without moving the yoke? If it's not directly connected, it might not move. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

The subject at hand, my dimwitted friend, is GA aircraft of the type people in this group fly and the very same type you yourself referenced. It's possible to design anything. But the yoke is directly connected to the control surface by a cable. How the hell are you going to move a control surface without moving the yoke? If it's not directly connected, it might not move. They are always connected. |

You are truly setting a new record for stupid, which I did not think you could top based on your other posts. |

What bothers us is that you read things, then make authoritative statements that are factually incorrect and represent: 1. A basic misunderstanding about the subject and 2. A dogged determinism not to allow yourself to be corrected by people who DO know. You have repeatedly soiled yourself conversationally and any shred of respect or admiration you might have had at any point during the 'grooming' phase of your troll here has been blasted out the window by your recent behavior here and in other threads. |
