Thanks a bunch, ZZ you too, Detent.
I am remiss by not going back to all the AF447 data and such to see the gradients.
My main point about discussing FBW is too many folks do not understand exactly what it is and how it can be implemented differently in different planes. I really liked the Canadian approach concerning the Max, and seems to me that the 727 had to use a pusher or similar implementation due to its characteristics at high AoA. Ditto for other commercial planes.

Off topic, but I would have loved to have had a hop in the F-86. Our sqd checked out the last two U.S. Air National Guard units that were flying the thing, but USAF would not let us try it, heh heh. Ditto for the Mirage, and my first fighter was the F-102, so would have been neat to compare the deltas.
