Re[3]: [simpits-tech] converting instruments

[Chris Woodul]

The Vark stick can move quite a bit, and it has a some bizzare flight
control characteristics. I do know that regardless of the Eagles Trim
movement geometry that the loading on the stick is much more complex than
springs or bungees. The loading is variable based on Aero Q. I have flown
the F-15 simulator in the field.What we all need one way or another is a
"poor man's" control loader.
