Default Captain Fraidy-Cat Has a Question

Pretty funny.

I only fly a 2-33 once in a while and always have a moment or two at
first where I wonder..."is the stick still connected?!!!"

A good technique in a turn is to STAND on the rudder in the direction
you desire, LIFT the opposite leg up high and PUSH the stick to the
fabric under that leg...perfect!

Try this. While on the ground, install the student in the front seat of a
2-33, ask him to open the spoilers 50% and then try to use left aileron.
You will find the students left leg is pinned between the spoiler handle and
the stick limiting stick travel to about 2". Now, imagine trying to handle
a left crosswind gust just before touchdown.
