Standard control system layout (no parallelogram stick)

I agree with most of what you posted (although if performance is OK
w/out retract, i.e. near 40:1, I would say save the bucks/complication)
But why no parallelogram stick? I really appreciated it in my Skeeter
in rough air.

only because it's not "typical" it's a marketing issue, not an issue
with the viability of the design.

most of the glass ships out of germany save some grob 102 club's are
retract - besides, I think the performance hit for fixed gear will be
significant - include gear warning switches as standard...
