Centre Sticks?

Diversity is good. One of things we all like about flying is the challenge.

Due to the types I fly, I got used to left hand yoke and right hand stick. I’ve just started flying a type that needs left hand stick and it feels very strange.

I think a yoke is best for cruising and a stick is best for landings (particularly Xwind) and aeros. On balance I prefer stick.

What about centre sticks? I’ve only flown a couple of hours but this config appears to offer best of both. More room for charts etc, but with an intuitive action for diagonal movement.
