Hi,
I'm surprised that an Apache Driver didn't look for the
feel of it. If the spoiler ever does fail to deploy, you'll know it for sure!
But, maybe being Fly-By-Wire, the Apache doesn't sharpen your Tactile feel for the Car. When I was punching holes through the air in F4s, A4s and F14s (all of which have direct linkages to the Control Surfaces), you developed a very good
feel for the machine.
BTW, you do know that Rotary Wing Aircraft don't Fly, they merely beat the Air into Submission...
Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
