Nor can you fly an F-16 without an onboard computer stabalizing it every second of the way, which is exactly the length of time it was estimated a real pilot would maintain control of an F-16 without its onboard computers - 1 to 3 seconds.
Welcome to the most ever unstable platforms ever to grace the sky - F-22 and F-35 also fall in this catagory.
I think the F-15 and MiG-29 were the last of the 'stable' platforms. Stable platforms don't jink as well due to their stability.
