REFLECTOR:Sidesticks and Centred Throttle Quadrants

[Greg Poole]

Maybe Scott Baker or others who have flown various versions might be able to
illuminate this area for us?.....how do the side stick options pan out
compared to the existing centre stick in terms of flyability and effort on
long haul flights?  I found being able to rest my arm on the centre console
and use my wrist to do most of the flying when in cruise in the existing
(KISS) arrangement is very comfortable whereas I'd presume one would need to
put an arm rest for the side sticks to achieve the same level of comfort ??.

I think we would all acknowledge that the areas of the fuselage where
Velocity's are at a premium for space when seated or when entering or
egressing the aircraft is where the sidesticks and arm rest would be
located.

Sob, wish I could have made OSH!
