Certainly, one must start somewhere - I wasn't criticizing.

After a bit more thought, I think the only way to totally decouple an airplane would be through a CAS (Control Augmentation System). It would have to be a very complicated system, with lots of very expensive sensors, too.

That said, the symmetric airplane proposed here will get very close to being decoupled, and with a lot of time tweaking mixes on the higher-end computer radios, could probably be made to fly so close to completely decoupled as to not be nticeably different from the real thing.

With careful work on the S+C, and a neutral airplane, one could get a plane that handles identically upright and inverted, as well.
