REFLECTOR: Yoke vs. Stick

[Carruth, Joel L]

Yes. 5 years in a RV-6A, so it was left-hand stick, right-hand throttle.


Without 6 or 8 buttons on the stick, it seems like tuning 2 COMMS, 2
NAVS, a GPS, etc. would be a lot of motion between stick and panel,
right?

Have you flown with a stick?  I much prefer it to a yoke.  You can rest
your arm on the console and do most of your flying  by tapping the trim
buttons on the stick.

	Has anyone converted to the Yoke system supplied by Velocity?

	Was the conversion from a stick complicated?  Is it a ripple
change to other components like the "S" type elevator trim? 

	I have seen a lot of posts about reducing slop in the stick
system, so I was wondering if the Yoke introduced more slop in the
system due to increased parts count? 

	Thanks!
