I had learned initially in an Enstrom with a standard cyclic stick. Maybe the new helicopter pilots that start in a R22 don't know any better. I didn't have much trouble using a stick in a Luscombe, when my native plane was a Cessna 172. I can take either. I guess the future is in 'wrist sticks' ala VariEze. Rob Wood (decvax!genrad!rob)
