one of the first skills that is lost is what is known as "fine motor control," especially in the hands

gums has made some comments on the F16 stick. I recall from a course years ago (so it might be scratchy) that the initial test article had a zero break out stick arrangement which was unflyable due to low level muscular tremors. If I recall correctly, the initial mod was to introduce a 4lb break out load to get rid of the non-commanded small perturbations.
