Learning & unlearning how to ride a bicycle.
I myself have had issues with sticks that hang from above. The wrist angle feedback fools the arm position controls.
For example, a Mitchell Wing Hang Glider uses a short stick that hangs from the wing above you a you sit on a sling seat beneath. Some early Gyros used a hanging stick. The forward to reduce angle of attack, and left to roll left, etc. function the same as on a stick the come up from the floor, or side stick controls.
But the wrist angle is reversed, especially in pitch, and I found myself reversing the control, repeatedly, standing on the ground "flying" the wing above me. Pounded myself to my knees more than once.
I'm pretty sure it's trainable, and simply need to hang a joystick under my computer table to practice, but never get around to it, and have avoided such control set ups since.
