Storm:
I think you have a lock on human nature. Astronomy and telescopes (I made 4 mirrors when I was younger, 10 inches was the biggest) have always fascinated me so in my later years I bought a computer guided scope (10 inch.) On my first outing, I told the scope to goto Uranus. In a few seconds I was seeing a planet that has always eluded me when trying to use the star charts. I enjoy my automatic telescope.
I enjoy flying my airplanes when they do what I tell them to do and fly level when I don't tell them to do something. I have used the Guardian 2D mode while turned off and I can do loops, rolls, upside down, and a couple other moves without fear of losing control afterwards. I then switch 2D mode back on and have immediate control again. Landing is almost automatic. I obviously enjoy what I have and no amount of Old-timer wisdom is going to make me do different. Use stabilation. It works.
Now--- how do I determine the level configuration of the airplane?
Note: I'm 73 years of age, so maybe my advice could be deemed Old-timer wisdom? Or not?
