My 2 Cents worth. I agree with 1 stick. I have?a center stick, throttle, carb heat on the left side and radio and transponder down the middle under the panel. I straddle the radios and?can't ever plan to take passengers. Selfish I know. I'll give rides in a 'can. Paul N7970K New Hampshire ----- Original Message -----

With a standard-width KR with a standard canopy, sitting in the center is the most logical and comfortable place to sit and if you're going to sit in the center, a center stick is the logical place to have the stick. Having two sticks only makes sense if you have room enough for two people. ? If you're still in the designing stage, think about a side stick. ?Ken Rand had one and there are plans floating around. ?
