Skyryse's fly-by-wire R66 replaces the ship's mechanical linkages with electronic control, which means the stick no longer pushes back the way pilots use to gauge how close they are to the edge of the envelope. The FAA's draft special conditions would require some other means of keeping pilots aware of those limits before the type reaches operators.
