Flaps and speed brake on the stick?  Is that so during cruise flight and
 turbulence, or a moment of distraction, you can, with just a small
 finger movement or shifting of the hand, deploy your flaps and speed
 brake?  Why not landing gear and kill-switch on the stick, too?  Seems
 like things used once a flight and that you don't want to inadvertantly
 deploy, might best be left on the panel?
 
 Just a thought.
