Salute!
Gotta tellya, I am disappointed by several pilots here that are apparently clones of Chuck Yeager, Neil Armstrong or Jimmy Doolittle.
Yeah! The thing flies just like an old Stearman and you don't need a single electron because you have wires and pulleys and cables and...... NOT!!!
I throw the foul flag. This latest version is not the plane your grandfather flew 30 years ago. It is not the same plane your son flew 10 years ago. The "geeks" have put in stuff to "help" the "clueless yutes" that don't have the skill you have or because the plane behaves differently. And it does!!

Good grief, you'll have everyone saying we should kiss off two accidents that might have been prevented with knowledge of a kludge system and maybe a sim ride to show what could happen.

More later,

Gums rants...
