Thanks, Actually as a small bit I'm using the onboard computer to control flaps and trim. I have a load pressure sensor on the stick to tell how much back pressure the stick has to adjust by a click on the screen the trim tab. These are two areas I felt comfortable using FBW tech until I did more since one could land without the flaps and fly without the trim if something goes wrong.
