It's easier to fly one handed with a stick, and I suspect that many people who put 2 hands on a yoke wouldn't need to if they flew stick. And don't forget, that TV show you saw about the great Richard Bong was just that, a TV show. I also notice that you used the word "driver", and not "pilot". Drivers use 2 hands, pilots fly with one
Driver is what the host of that show Paul "Max" Moga says. I think he even says he 'drives' an F-22.
