- Ace Electronics makes their Micropro 8000 transmitter in a single-stick
- configuration. It requires a different hand action to use single-stick,
- using the thumb and forefinger on the side of the stick instead of just
- resting the thumb on the top. It's probably just convention and the
- availability of transmitters that makes single-stick such a rarity. Our
- top aerobatic slope glider pilot switches back and forth between single-
- and double-stick using a modified Micropro with one three-axis and one
- two-axis stick.
