Maybe simplest to understand but not simplest to fly
No auto pitch trim
Horrors! One might have to reach down and move the stab trim wheel!

Elevator pitch deflection is proportional to stick deflection
Bad news indeed - your back in a normal airplane!(almost)

And if you want to push the envelope :

No load factor protection )
No angle of attack protection )
No angle of bank protection ) actual hands-on piloting required
No pitch attitude protectionc )
No high speed protection )

I dont think youd enjoy flying my little PA18 unless I shoehorned an ELAC into it eh JR!
