I never heard two knees defined as an auto pilot before.

If you keep loading a bird down (A/P, etc) the weight growth will
seriously effect the performance of bird.

Since most pilots come with two knees, you don't add any weight to be
able to fly the bird with the knees when required.

Note your Fighter Pilot's druthers.

With a side stick you can't fly with your knees while you do other
important things with ur hands.

That's what Autopilots are for.
