Salute!
Thanks, Orca. I know a few Harrier guys that flew them in the RAF, and they liked the idea of fore/aft and up/down.
I appreciate the Harrier pilots' comments bout using thrust for up and down, but a close friend that had an exchange Harrier tour in the RAF agrees with the Stubbie control law for landing/hover. It also lends itself to good short roll landings on the deck or unimproved runway.
