I too prefer a stick to a wheel, possibly since I trained initially
in an Aeronca 7AC. I like the fact that I could hold the stick between
my knees and still do turns when I was fumbling with a map or something
with both hands.

From: Terry C. Savage <TCS@USC-ECL.ARPA> I am new to the aviation mailing list, so I'm not sure what you usually discuss. Do you ever schedule fly-ins on-line? I live in the LA area, and I love to find excuses to fly to Catalina, Big Bear, Meadowlark, or other interesting places. If any one is interested, please let me know! Terry Savage TCS@USC-ECL -------

1) I have never flown anything with a stick, so I ask: Do pilots prefer
a stick because it was the first thing they learned on, because it
is macho, or because it really is better?
2) Would you feel comfortable flying with someone who held the stick
between his knees while fumbling with a map? (Or anything else?)
