Unhappy

Interesting but: Don't you think that most pilots fly on stick pressures rather than positions. True on aerobatics, true on slow flight. Am I wrong? In case I'm not, why bother with the stick position hypothesis.

The whole thing about certification authorities is they want to see a nice, stiff, stick force gradient so you can't apply enough of a g load when you're fast to reach stall AOA. Again--pressures are part of the approved design. Reason being that we rarely are conscious (rarely need to be, shouldn't be) of stick position.

Don't mean to be grumpy. All the best.
