Hi Bud, Am I right that I can tinker with winding out the rod end at the bottom
of the control column, to get the whole range of the stick further aft. It
appears
though the longer you make that arc, it alters the way the pitch pushrod
travels within the aileron tube, and you could create a bind. Unfortunately I
have a nice little 1 1/2" fence of 2 plies of BID that creates a surface to
protect
my controls, and to allow a boot to attach to, which is basically in the
way of future close inspection. I think I might just rely on sound and feel
throughout the control movement range. Irritating, and unforeseen.

that the stick manufacturer has a solution to the fitting, but not the cockpit
clearances.

flying position, to give clearance all around the cockpit. Nothing worse
than testing an aircraft whose control limit stops are the panel and persons
anatomy. Also check the passenger side as well.

>> I have a pair of Tosken Manufacturing Stick Grips, but the way they are raked
forward is giving me grief. Ive already cut them down to suit, which works by
having a 1 insert with a smaller diameter hole that the grip mounts through.
So, I am after a stick grip that has a male stud sticking out the bottom that
goes into a receptacle that fits inside our sticks, NOT over them. Any
suggestions??
