I just feel like a yoke doesn't let me 'think' and plane around the sky like a stick does, and I get my jollies from the sense of control rather than the joy of travel that others derive from touring.
Now I understand what it is you meant to say in the first place
.
I agree completely that sticks are generally more direct and responsive than yokes, but yokes are more practical for touring, unless the stick is cranked so that you can stil use a knee board. I don't think though that if I liked the aircraft because of performance, handling, economy etc I would be influenced by yoke/ stick or indeed plunger/quadrant.
