Scotty makes a good point and I believe that this has always been the case  
in Air Force fighters with sticks: Aileron and elevetor trim on the coolie  
hat; rudder on a switch where it is easily accessible. And I know at least  
two Navy fighters that have the same congiguration. Standardization is not  
a dirty word. Another thing to remember, you can build them like you wish  
with your idea of what is best, but almost everyone out there is going to  
want to sell their bird at some time in the future. "Cool" ideas that are  
not standard do not help this process very much. Boost pump, starter and  
flap switches on a stick grip come to mind. The fuel selector in John  
Denver's airplane is another.

IMHO,

John Schroeder
