Although this is a pointless debate I'm bored so here's my tuppence worth:
"Isnt it easier to use a stick where you hold it in the centre than a wheel where you hold it offset to one side?" Don't know about you mate, but both my arms are offset - one on the left, one on the right. You do use your ARMS to steer, don't you? Maybe holding the stick reminds you of your other favourite past-time
"do you think the cessna is popular because people really like it? Some do but dont you think it has a lot to do with cost and easiness to fly and its use as a trainer?" So aircraft should be expensive, unreliable and impossible to fly? Isn't it enough that they're expensive and unreliable?
It would be interesting to see the results of a vote for yokes or sticks Maybe in your world.
Tiger Moth - how's the flying lessons coming along?
