This sounds a good idea. If someone wishes to replicate the outrigger
mod on the sticks, that is OK with me. It just needs agreeing with Andy
Draper. If written up appropriately it could become another standard
mod.

Nigel,
I have seen progressively more and more cases of wear in this area.
None I have so far grounded for this reason, but a similar mod to the
out rigger one will probably be useful some time in the future.

The loads are nowhere near as bad for the sticks as the outriggers and
this is the first I have heard of wear in the stick pivots. Are you
certain it is the pivots and not elsewhere in the flying control system?
Is this in the pitch axis?

Hi Nigel,
I am thinking at doing the same mod to the control stick pivots, as the
play in those pivots is becoming unacceptable.
What do you think of that? Any body has done it?

As the designer of this mod I have a few timely comments.
First of all we are looking at updating this mod. The reason is that
even using 4130 steel tube for the inner tubing it has a tendency to
distort crating drag on the outer tube and causing the pivot to revert
to the original arrangement. The future version will use an AN5 bolt
instead of the AN4 bolt and inner tube. The bolt will be prevented from
rotating by locating the head in a V shaped recess in a plate riveted on
the outside of the side plate. An AN5 castellation nut will be used to
retain the bolt. For UK builders the original prototype version of this
