Default Not wanting to use control sticks

Lou,

I don't want to start a "flame" war; however, what advantage does a yoke
have over a stick? I have flown both and prefer a stick.
(http://tinyurl.com/yc6pog) The only advantage a yoke has is that it doesn't
interfere with a woman's long skirt.

Well, here I go again, thinking instead of doing.


My plane call for control sticks just like 99% of the homebuilts out


there. But I've been considering using a control yoke (maybe cessna


150


modified) instead. To get from the yoke controls to the push/pull


tubes in the wing I may have to use Bowden cables. I may be wrong on


the name, but basicly similar to bicycle brake cables.


Has anyone used these kind of cables successfuly?


Or has anyone incorporated a control yoke instead of control sticks?
