So then Robmac A totally unairworthy aircraft in IMC, all the faults well known to you and yet you continued, (hours building is NO excuse), very impressive, I think not!

The possible 'danger' of hand flying in today's more complicated machinery in very busy controlled airspace is that you are deliberately eroding the safety margins by not taking full advantage of all the assistance offered to you, a bit like wearing a life jacket but not bothering to inflate it.

One can imagine the manufactures response after an accident; "Had the pilot(s) taken advantage of all the flying aids offered within the aircraft this accident need not have happened", one can then imagine the insurers response!

Hopefully your post was 'tongue in cheek'?
