Being a test pilot is not just "fly around somehow" and then bash the developers. You also have to get your physics right. You have to be the absolute master over your machine (and I seriously doubt anyone has already mastered CEM to the full extent) - and you have to be able to set reproduce-able conditions.

Well, the third point is not even conceivable right now from what I read here, but the first two... Guys, I'd respectfully suggest doing a lot more "flight schooling" before you jump to conclusions like "Plane XX is woefully undermodelled" or "They've got to get their flight models right". No, it's the other way round - people got to get their test flights right, judging from what has been written here.
I hope the devs don't jump to overly nervous conclusions... but, seeing they are all battle-hardened veterans with own flight experience, I shouldn't be too scared, I hope

OK master test pilot, go ahead and fly it at 350 mph level!
