The differance between Gumbeau and most of the rest of us, is he was trained to use a bunch of muscle to horse his planes around where those of us who only fly cartoon plane are trained to be easy with our legs/feet.

Naw, a couple thousand hours in heavily loaded multi engine tail draggers teaches you to be very light on your feet or you end up going backwards on a regular basis.

Your feet aren't your hands no matter what.

Just ask your wife.

Some good advice on this one so all covered by this point. I use the twisty stick and due to my rudders spiking, I'm going to look into getting some pedals soon myself so we both in same boat about looking on info about those
