Although the robin has a stick, it behaves just like a yoke.
A proper stick (eg bulldog, chipmunk, firefly, tutor) comes up from the floor, giving you full motion left and right to do aerobatics.
The stick in the robin comes out of the dash, just like a yoke, and just twists left to right. If you're used to either stick or yoke you shouldn't really struggle.
The vis is very good, reasonably nice to tour in, but usually not much in the way of avionics if you want to do some serious nav.
