From: lafford@serum.kodak.com (Rick Lafford) Dave Hastings commented that triplex-redundant DFC systems... Flying wings are not necessarily unstable if properly designed. Horten designed several that were quite nice to fly with excellent stability (within the design CG range). I believe the only reason that the Honeywell stability aug. system was installed was to improve stability for bombing. As usual with an aircraft that displays fairly nimble handling, when you want truck-like stability for high altitude bombing, you aren't going to get it.
