Is there an advantage of the parallelogram configuration over the
conventional stick in the manufacture or in the handling ?

Why not just skip back in time, put in an F-16 non-moving sidestick
(uses strain gages) connected to a fly by wire computer, full digital,
quad redundant (FOUR batteries?) and hook the autopilot up to SeeYou
Mobile? The IGC approved logger feeding altitude to SeeYou (Version
26) should allow the pilot to take a nap during that 4,000 k flight...

Oh, sorry, I'll shut up, since I'm just a lowly 1-26 driver. Yeah,
some think it's a shape only a mother could love, but I love mine --
as the article in AOPA Pilot said: "Love the one you're with."
