Simpli-Fly mis-explained
[edit]The explanation of the "Simpli-Fly" flight control, I believe, is incorrect.
As I recall, from my time in one, and from my reading of lit about it, "Simpli-Fly" was meant to simplify the task of coordinating flap and elevator-trim settings, by having both controlled by the single "Simpli-Fly" trim wheel.
Instead, the article currently (and mistakenly, I'm sure) describes this novel system as simply the same thing as an ordinary trim wheel, essentially. I'm pretty sure it's not.
If time permits, I'll try to find an online source to cite. Meanwhile, if anyone else can beat me to it, great.
