BTW Bob, if you're still with me after this rant, I did happen to see
a joystick in a reproduction Spad once that looked an AWEFUL lot like
a sawed-up wooden baseball bat. Food for thought.

Long been the choice of Them Who Knows, Harry. Ash. Well made. Nice
grip. Pull the pin and you'd just equipped yourself with a Training
Aid. Still best choice for Primary Gliders, in my opinion. (Modern
stuff, the joystick usually has to be crooked as a dog's hind leg.)

PS -- Not quite a rant. More of a memorial to 'Orville's flight
instructor,' a common topic of discussion between my dad and his dad,
with me allowed to listen in.
