I also consider this a pointless debate. I can think of reasons for preferring fixed wing or rotary, high or low wing, single or twin engine, and a few other things. But yoke or stick? For gawd's sake!!!!! I've flown with both, and what I remember about those different aircraft are the responsiveness of the aircraft, where I went, what my landings were like. The damn thing could have had a yoke or a stick or a three pronged fork carved with dragons' heads for all I'd care, so long as it was a nice aircraft to fly on a nice day to a nice place.

I think this thread must get a prize for the most pointless question ever asked on PPRuNe. If you start a poll I for one will boycott it. And Tiger, when you've actually had some experience on both types of aircraft, and I mean some experience, not the odd lesson or two and a few thoughts, you'll see what I mean.
