Standard control system layout (no parallelogram stick)


Excuse my ignorance... what is a parallelogram stick?

Bartek


The standard configuration has the stick pivoting forward and aft as
well as side to side. The parallelogram stick SLIDES forward and aft,
but pivots side to side. Some people really like it, but it's a minor
design by numbers.
