Having discussed this on occasion with others, I think that one tends to relate most easily to what one first encountered.
I'm a Sticker, having started my flying in gliders. Although I am very fond of the trusty C-150, I could (and can) only fly one by holding the yoke in the centre. This doesn't work as well in other aircraft of the same family controlled rather more - er - ponderously, but is still more effective than trying to do, badly, what the yoke designers intended.
I think I should be very embarrassed by this, but I don't often need to demonstrate, thank goodness
A good job I'm not ChiefChump...
