It's awesome to bring some innovation into the airplane market. That being said, changing the control scheme seems like a bad move. Stick and rudder are not that complicated. Lots of aspiring pilots will not buy this thing because they are all going to have been trained on conventional controls.

I even ran into this when making my unrealistic VR space flight sim (roguestargun.com)

The first thing people complained about was the fact that I didn't setup the controls with conventional pitch and yaw axis. I watched videos of folks crashing repeatedly. I finally gave in and a bunch of 4 star reviews turned into 5 star reviews.
