I saw something interesting in an article in a recent issue of Kitplanes
on the Wittman Tailwind. The Tailwind has a center stick but the top is
bent into a "U" shape
and the end of it winds up in at the lap level of a pilot in the left seat,
placing it where a dual stick would be. That way someone in the left seat
can fly it with the right hand on the straight part of the stick or the left
hand on the bent part of the stick.
This idea could also work on a KR if you made it removeable or able to
rotate so you could get in easily. If I build a KR (and I'm looking for a
KR-2 project at this point), I'd prefer the simplicity of a single stick and
this would eliminate one of the disadvantages.
