A couple of points relating to previous posts. One guy asked why we can't have clockwork instruments instead of glass cockpit. I've been flying professionally for 40 years and I prefer round instruments in many ways but, unfortunately, no one is being trained in manufacture & maintenance of steam clocks anymore - we live in the digital age.
With regard to the stick coming out of the panel, it's nothing new. We had that in the Buccaneer - that's the strike jet, not the Lake amphibian - and it handles like any other stick when you're not thinking about it being unconventional.
