You don't have to constantly keep your hands on the controls of an

aircraft control surfaces have trim capability, you moron.

There's a reason autopilots were developed, namely, that it's very tiring to
hold the controls for hours and hours. It's true that you need not grip them
continously, but neither can you ignore them for very long if you have no
autopilot.

You are still a babbling, know nothing of the real world, arrogant, idiot.

One of the first things my instructor did during training was to have
me fly a short cross country with my arms folded across my chest
maintaining course with rudder after trimming out the airplane.


On a lighter note, my instructor put me in a link trainer one time and
pounded on it. When I asked him what he was doing, he said
"simulating hail."
