I appreciate your perspective of Industry Loyalties there Ted, and respect the hell out of it. Not that i was expecting you need defend the obviousness of Its Operational Pressures. Course you missed my point of high regard for design and engineering entirely. Add to which, if the Pilot's gotta come in with that much compensation to maintain a line, what's he figurin' will happen when he brings her back'round directly into that manic crosswind. :) What was a graceful and glancing resistance of open window winged-fuselage, just near instantly, became a closed window of clumsy brick-like resistance. No luxury of time or room to be chasin' after, trying to compensate much of anything then. Can't imagine i'm doing more than preachin' to the choir, telling you this.
As it is, having a training wheel for'a wing was handy design, not to mention a landing gear with some flexable backbone. I suspect your expereince of 'watching and teaching maintenance engineers for nearly 4 decades' has had you considering whether those odds are good enough when it comes to people's lives. Me.. I don't care how frequently Fishtailin' approaches are. Which your sure right about. The 'severity' of this corporate obedient 'hotdoggin' is intolerable. No excuses or indirect interpretation about it.
Kind regards Bud, Chris
