Claim 10:
11. A method for controlling pitch of an electric aircraft using an elevator, comprising:
generating a lift command using a lift lever comprising a linear lift control mounted on the lift lever, wherein the lift lever:
generates a lift command upon activation by a pilot;
generates a resistance to rotation of the lift lever using a resistance mechanism,
wherein generating the resistance comprises:
detecting a position of the linear lift control using an angular position sensor; and

generating resistance to the rotation of the lift lever as a function of the detection;
receiving, using a flight controller incorporated in an electric aircraft, the lift command from the lift lever incorporated in the electric aircraft; and
adjusting, using the flight controller, an elevator as a function of the lift command.
