No, if you read it correctly it was testen in a helicopter, but intended for the simple eVTOL market which only goes up straight, flies forward, makes shallow turns and lands vertically again. Really straightforward “maneuvering”. More or less similar to performing a flight on a 4 axis AFCS bird with all upper modes on and only using beep trims. I cannot imagine flying, for example, a complex 180 degree quick stop manoever with such a control stick. (Or remember the 206 video putting Christmas trees in a lorry?)
