RE: Telemetry in F3A
None mantioned a very important fact: to eliminate all the computer tricks on radios (let's say we keep D/R an exps only) would supose a real challenge for designers. Today we solve many design problems through several radio mixes. To design a good pattern plane is one thing, to design THE pattern plane that does'nt needs any extra input for couplings or so is very very difficult. In the other hand, shall be said that a good plane with instruments onboard could give enough info for designing such "perfect" airplane.
In any case, I agree that F3A shold be a nude and crude coordination man-plane whitout any computer trick in the middle... as Mike31 said: "I agree. 2 thumbs and eye/hand coordination. That's flying! "
