Does it move when say when the pilot wants to climb, or does it have
pressure sensors on a rigid stick so the stick can inform the
computers the pilots hand is pressing on the front of the stick and he
wants the F-16 to climb?


Initially it was a force-sensing stick, but later they added some "play" to
it.


By *play* how many degrees can the pilot now move it?
