red750 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I have just watched a show on the National Geographic Channel - Megafactories Boeing 747-8. It was fascinating watching the 6 million parts coming together manually - no robots - then the test flight including tail dragging on take-off and air-to-air shots of a couple of stalls. As the test pilot says, he just lets go of the yoke and drops his hands by his side - the nose lowers benignly and the plane resumes flying. .
