"One other item available as an option was Bloxham “Safety Sticks”. This option allowed the instructor to disengage the student’s control stick if a student “froze” during the flight."
Interesting that this seems to have died out, sounds a decent idea? Very little on net, google [bloxham safe stick] only has one hit, an article in Flying Magazine Jun 1929.
Anyone know if this idea has been used elsewhere?
