How does a side stick compare to a parallelogram stick (e.g. Glasflugel)?

Again, I've never flown a side stick, though if you think about it, a
simple Cessna with a yoke is flown with the left hand, ala side stick. The parallelogram stick in the Mosquito feels better than a floor gimballed center stick. It's very smooth operating and the throw is small enough that you can fly with wrist motion. Very nice.

I've not flown a Glasflugel Mosquito but I have sat in one I was considering buying and handled the stick. The Mossy and the DG-300 sticks seemed pretty similar except that the Mossy's trim worked a lot better. From what others have said, it sounds as though the side stick is less 'natural' because centralised ailerons mean the handle sticks out horizontally from the cockpit wall but in the DG-300/Mossy its vertical like a conventional stick. Both side and parallelogram sticks require you to rotate your wrist to operate the ailerons, though with a parallelogram stick that would depend on just how you hold the stick. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org | |
