5X5. No problem whatever. I don't have the skill or experience to make a finding on the stick, yoke. Yoke is all I know. So I am merely curious, readily admitting the location of the SS outside the pilot does not in itself suggest anything untoward to me at all. My question rests on what the choice was, and how it was made, from an engineering, ergo, and safety standpoint(s).
I always fly with my left hand anyway, and it is not that far from where a SS would be....
It's been a slice, Doze.
