A control device for an aircraft has a control stick configured to be operated by hand of a user. The control stick is pivotable about a longitudinal axis, a lateral axis, and a yawing axis extending through the control stick. Motion of the stick about the longitudinal axis is configured to cause roll motion of the aircraft, motion of the stick about the lateral axis is configured to cause pitch motion of the aircraft, and motion of the stick about the yawing axis is configured to cause yaw motion of the aircraft. Rotation of a thumbwheel carried by the control stick changes a magnitude of a thrust vector of the aircraft.
