Most aircraft designs are built in total numbers smaller than what a car manufacturer would put through the production line to debug the line.

It is just good engineering to use what is available that will do the job.

I'm guessing you've never actually done any engineering or manufactured anything. Academic, but not from any STEM fields who can't do physics or maths?

Besides, you are a cowardly anonymous troll. The vast majority of people in this place identify themselves.

>>You'd like the $250,000 glider to cost $300,000 or more? Most cars costing more than say $30,000 have a steering wheel that is not just a cheap plastic moulding. It does not cost $50,000 extra to do that. A wheelbarrow handle is designed to be held like 'this'… and an aircraft ccontrol column is designed to be held like 'that'… diffeerent ergonomics. One is designed to be gripped hard and the other should not be. If you don't get the difference, have a look at the grip shape on any low-cost computer joystick. It does not look anything like a wheelbarrow or bicycle handle. As Macca points out, you can use the handle from a ski stock or a Norwegian walking stick or whatever they are called. At least they're designed to be held like 'that'.
