If it isn't at the center of lift, teh plane will fall over. Fly by
wire wire is equivalent to riding a unicycle. It can be done, but
requires constant input.

Fly by wire has nothing to do with how stable the plane is.
Airbus use fly by wire as did concord but the planes are not
particularly unstable.

You are confusing making an unstable plane (stealth, F22, etc.) and
needing fly by wire to fly it with what fly by wire is, its just a
control system designed for a particular purpose.




Agreed. I as using it in the sense the person who first introduced it to
the thread, used it.
