I had a chat to a eurocopter man recently about getting a dual hydraulic system on the b2 to counter this problem, and he said as you guys said that the weak part in the chain is the actuators and not the pump but the reason he gave for a poor performing actuator was if they had one that could handle greater loads the actuator would shatter the starflex, maybe i picked it up wrong but he seemed to be saying that the poor performing actuator was in effect letting you know with SCT that you had gone too far or the turbulance had brought you too far.
would be interested if anyone has another take on that. seeing as my ass is in an an Astar for 6 hours a day 6 days a week!
