> A purely mechanical system is always preferable, for safety and > reliability reasons
Whoops! I should go yank out my fuel injection and electronic ignition out of my car, slap in a carb and distributor. I've been following the system, and I have to wonder if 1) we are fixing a problem that really exists and 2) if you really want an easy to fly helicopter, why not fly by wire?
I've been following this thread with interest, but I think the challenges of implementing it, much less certifying it would overcome the advantages of a 'purely mechanical system.'
Good luck!
