Some good points by both Clan and Chris.
The advice about supporting elbow seems a great thing to do. We also had a "wrist grip", but most folks stowed it and just used the elbow/forearm support. The good thing about supporting the wrist was for smooth inputs, as our stick moved less than 1/8 of an inch ( force versus displacement as in the 'bus).
Back to the "connected sticks/yokes" once again, huh? I must defend the position of some here that it doesn't make a lot of difference. As Clan has said, if the nose ain't going where it's supposed to be going, then the other guy is doing somethin weird or the jet is. Not only were we not be able to see the other stick ( back seat/front seat), but the doggone thing moved so little it would not have helped. If the jet was not going where it was supposed to, we could "add" input. If that didn't help, we could take control with a paddle switch below the handgrip, and I think a similar feature is implemented in the 'bus.
Some good points for a newbie.
