Jose, I applaud your motivation and enthusiasm! This sounds like a tremendous amount of work for little return, but if you are charged up about it, go forth and slay dragons. The Wright Brothers did and look what happen with their ideas. Two words of caution. First, have a back-up that is instantaneous and failsafe. Second, your FBW is guaranteed to fail at the worst possible times; if you plan for it and expect it you may be able to eliminate the risk involved. Airbus still had not perfected their FBW in the 319/320 and 330/340 series aircraft even after ten years of the planes flying passengers! One of the unfortunate realities of being trained as an aviation mishap investigator is learning a lot of behind the scenes info that the public is not allowed to know. My family never flies in these aircraft, ever. I hope you efforts are worthwhile and work! Good luck to you! IHS, David "Zipper" Goodman Vertical Avionics, Inc. www.verticalavionics.com
