John,
Tailwind stick is a Slick Idea -- Useable with a
center throttle or still have to have side throttles?
I guess it depends on the plane and height of center
stick -- 701?
Thanks for the info and update.

rabid about weight and simplicity , I guess he was
like some of us in that he liked flying with his
left hand, the central stick basically had a "T" on
top extending to each side to a point directly in
the center of both pilot and copilot, from there it
dropped down vetically several inches forming the
grip,in the same place it would be if it came up
from the floor. Easy to make it removable or at
least foldable for easy entry. Mine will probably
fit into the standard "Y" with a pip pin so it's
easy to remove and replace. John

Thanks so much for all the comments from the
group.
I've already gotten a couple of suggestions and
comments that are greatly
appreciated.
One of you mentioned the Tailwind Stick. I am not
at all familiar with that
and wonder where I might find a picture or
description to look at. Searched
Google but nothing came up.
And to the comments about the short 550 foot
runway. I definitely will be
taking the plane to our local airport, KJXN, for
the early testing. Have a
friend with hanger room for final assembly and
testing. Feel confident that
once I get used to the plane all it will take is a
bunch of grass strip
practice to get into a small strip. Have a nice
1500 foot grass strip just
a couple of miles North East of the Jackson
Airport. Will be a great place
to practice short field landing.
Again, thanks for all the kind comments, both on
and off of the list.
George - N73EX next summer I hope!
