People have had concerns about fly-by-wire systems for years in aviation, is that not true Matt? And Snipe, why are you so quick to bash Toyota? There must be more to the story than we're getting.

Very true, there are certainly some valid concerns related to FBW, even though there haven't been any proven issues related to the systems. We do extensive testing with all of our aircraft for EMC/EMI issues, even though we don't sell anything FBW. It's a big deal.

I certainly want to see more unbiased facts related to this issue, God knows it wouldn't be the first large corporate cover-up. It also wouldn't be the first mistake made by a government agency or elaboration by the media.

Snipe hates Toyota because he had two used ones that died, therefore all Toyotas are crap.
