I agree, IRL I won't fly a plane with a yoke if I can help it. They turn a
flying experience in to some sort of limosine; Yuck!

Hi Dudley,
Was it a yoke as we know it or a small circular thing on top of a stick -
Spit type?

Happy Flying,

Hi Ed;
Almost missed you. I left this thread and just happened to checl back again.

The 38 has an X yoke that sort of looks like a pretzel. The Spit; (I flew
the Mk 16) has a round handle on top of an English type stick.

Dudley, you're one of my heroes - a '38 and a Spit!! Now if you rounded that
out with a little time in a '51 you can probably walk on water VBG.
