COLLEGE STATION, TX
OK, I know that I am totally opening myself up for ridicule here but today for the first time I flew from the back seat. I should feel at home owning a J3 for more than 30 years but I have to say, the stick seems incredibly short. I don’t know if someone cut it off to make it more comfortable for passengers or if this is how it came from the factory. I would say it is no more then Half the size of the front stick in length. Maybe a little more than half but nevertheless it takes a heavy hand compared to the front stick in the PA-18 and not nearly as long as the rear stick in a J3. Does anyone know if this is normal or has someone shortened this thing?
