Sorry guys, can't find the answer via search, but what is a
parallelogram stick?

Tim,

the elevator input is given by moving the stick back and forth on a
straight line rather than rotating the stick around one single hinge
point. To make matters worth, the commonly used sticks are typically
off-set from the hinge point towards the rear. High vertical
accelration can induce an unwanted elevator input. As Derek pointed
out, pilot induced oscillations due to vertical accelerations is not
an issue with these sticks. The Glassfluegel H303, H304 (incl. the CZ)
Mosquito and maybe other types have this type of stick.

Almost all, if not all, of the DG series gliders have them.
