I am in the process of acquiring a Flying Flea (Pou de Ciel) HM293 project. My intent is to finish this project specifically to fly on straight floats.

No brakes needed, but it would be nice to have water rudders. If that's the case, wouldn't it make sense to connect both the water rudders and the main rudder to the pedals, and to use the stick only for pitch? That way, all turning is done by the pedals, and the stick control geometry could be simplified. Make sense?

Is anyone aware of a Flea that uses the stick only for pitch?
