If I see one more bloody 2-seat LSA low wing with a stick and 912 Rotax, I might not be responsible for my actions. Real men fly yokes. Just look at all the bush aircraft out there, not a stick in sight.

A yoke is a device for attaching a humble beast of burden to an agricultural implement in order to drag it laboriously across the landscape.

In times of economic hardship, once the beast of burden is no longer able to perform this simple task, it will be shot, cooked, and eaten.

Either way, it things don't look that good if you're attached to a yoke.....
