Hi,
Nice, I agree. I know nothing about the Airbus, is there any indicator readily available to the pilots to show what angle the stabiliser is at ? Is there any way of trimming the stabiliser really "manually" ?
Good point, the old 707 had two dirty great 'coffee grinder' wheels on the sides of the central consol, so that the pilots could really 'manually' trim the stabiliser should it decide to do something one didn't want.
Same for Airbus
