During the build of my Kolb MKIII I kept looking for alternatives to the center stick/ center throttle quadrant and the heel brakes. Five minutes of flying and I was fine with both. Correctly set up,

unless you have a good plan, connecting two throttles and mixture that far apart can be difficult.? My hangar mate is working on that for his Zenith but since the engine is so close, there is not a

Right you are Keith. In fact, the Sonex High Wing will be offered with center stick and outside throttle and mixture controls. If I were building a Tailwind today, I would seriously consider that

Joe, You are correct.? I have flown a Sonex and also a Zenith 750 with the center Y arrangement.? ?As long as you have the throttle on both sides of the panel it is not a big deal.? If you only

I have flown quite a few center-stick airplanes and find them to be quite comfortable. The “center” stick is really a side stick for either seat. Left seat pilots fly with the stick in their

When I built my Tailwind,? I configured the passenger side stick to be removable.? I simply just welded it up like the pilot side and cut it off planning on finding a short aluminum rod to fit

Heidi- What Tailwind did you buy and where are you based?

I took my initial Pitts training at PAC, back in the early 80s. Still have a photo of the S2A we flew. The instructor was Randy Gagne. Great guy. He was one of the good

I worked for Pompano Aerobatic Center from 1991-93. When I started my CFI had expired. At some point I flew with a FSDO Inspector in the T34 and he renewed my Instructors certificate. Prior to that I
