The newsgroup post got a second reply today. (below)

Greg Fieser saw your little budding beauty and was completely impressed.  He
really does work for the Link folks, and admits he isn't 100% certain.  He did
offer up some additional info, and I will forward that to you offline, Marv.

Having seen the UTD myself I wouldn't claim it for fidelity.  That
said, the stick does indeed go straight aft for pure pitch as the arm
rests directly in line with the stick.
