Its kinda ridiculous, but kinda interesting, right? Everybody has an answer for this one. Please vote!! Thanks!!!

Status: offline 		funny as for me i use the finger and thumb but the disadvantage i find with it is that its harder for me to feel exactly what im doing with the sticks.…

for instance, i might want to do a few foreword or back fast rolls so i put full elevator forewar/back but i somehow cant stop putting a little aileron. or visa versa.

yep and i have my springs on the sticks as tight as posable but they are never tight enough for me...

some times i wish i learnt to fly with just thumbs
