It is very easy to fly, for me even more comfortable than a stick. I can't say
about in combat, but I have flown in Tiger Moth, Harvard Mk.II and Spitfire TR
IX, and all had circle control sticks.

As an addendum to N-6's original question..............

Did the stick move from side-to-side - or was it just the spade grip
that moved for aileron control ??

ISTR seeing pics of the stick in the central position with just the
spade displaced to one side.

I also assume the the whole spade/stick moved for-and-aft for elevator
control ??
