I think that theories and pontification as to what does what and to whom are a bit overdone!
I was always very grateful if the machine followed my inputs as closely as it felt able at the time, bearing in mind all the external factors, and got me home in one piece. A bit of lag? Well we all feel like that on occasion.
I remember very well being asked by a visiting Crab trapper to explain with the aid of a diagram the theories behind a Teefygram. I broke several pieces of chalk, and learned about torque fracture patterns along the way, and remained a B2,(I meant B1!) for the next 20 odd years.
The aircraft nearly always got me home...................
Happy Easter.
