For all the knowledgeable military guys, a question to help guide my opinion on side-sticks versus yokes. In duel seat trainers for aircraft such as the F-16 or F-18, does the training pilot's stick have a connection with the trainee's stick? In other words, does the training pilot know exactly what the trainee is doing with the stick or is he forced to rely only on the reactions of the plane? Be interesting to know what the military thinks on what information two-pilot airplanes need to convey without a visual reference.
