Presumably the nub of the problem was that automatic nosewheel up overrode manual undercarriage down and automatic nosedown canards overrode full back stick then automatic scratch my nose cost the manual taxpayer automatically the price of a new teabag?

Skid blocks would be a good idea - use some of that MF7 technology!
I bet those guys on AH&N would have got it, though on reflection they'd probably start pointing out why the design wouldn't work in a supersonic environment

This is, after all, a rumour net so please feel free to rumour and speculate but don't be aggreived if you get crap answers.

Some chap called Rusty posted these on Sunday to an aviation public usenet newsgroup so they can be consisdered to be in the public domain. If they have been posted before, apologies as I have been away for three weeks.
