Ah.....but my "old" airplane, along with others with 'conventional' controls, HAD this protection: it's called Design Maneuvering Speed; the speed at which application of FULL available aileron, rudder or elevator will NOT overstress the airplane. It approximates Rough Air Speed.
And you figure that's not available with "new" airplanes? Enough said and my point made about why this thread has degraded to catering mostly to the rants of the uninformed.
