Gotcha.
Most things are easy.
Brane theory.
Quantum physics.
There's a lot of people who like to make them appear difficult tho.
No... that's unfair.
I respect you guys who fly a lot heavier metal than me.
I guess what surprised me was I was expecting some kind of massive control lag... or having to compensate to an extraordinary degree for inertia.
What i found amazing was that for a jet that weighs a coupla hundred tonnes, it basically went where you pointed it, and relatively damn quick too. I probably would have had some very sick passengers, and an angry lolly tosser or two down the back!!!
I've flown fast jets, helicopters and many light GA types by the way.
Guess it was only a box on legs after all.
Maybe the real thing is different.
Respect...
