A stupid thing about cessnas
I dont want to offend anyone but this just occured to me:
On planes like cessnas and pipers there are control columns which have 2 handles. Why? Shouldn't pilots keep one hand handy for the throttle? So whats the other handle about? Its not like its an airliner thats really heavy to handle is it? What about a good stick? This brings me onto my other point: as the throttle is in the middle it means someone has to use the hand they dont normally use for the control column, using their good hand for the throttle. Isnt this annoying?
What do you think?
