re: #65 albusteve

climbing produces G’s…my guess is that if the controls snapped the flaps and rudder went into neutral default

I have to respectfully disagree on the Gs, because if he was in such poor health that those Gs would have killed him that quickly, then I doubt they’d have let him in the cockpit to begin with. I have very sincere doubts that his crew or his family would allow him to fly if they thought he’d croak under the G-loads associated with the race.
