I like the idea of having dual controls, but also want to be able to remove the co-pilot stick when not needed. I have 2 Tosten grips (9 wires). Hardwiring the pilot stick is done. I ran the wires down the stick tube and out the bottom. Wiring in the co-pilot stick presents a couple of options. I could run the wires out the side of the tubing above the quick disconnect button and use a connector (db-9 type), or try to go down and out the bootom of the stick tube. Coming out of the side seems easier, but the connector is going to potentially interfere with the control movement. It doesn't look like there is much space between the stick and the seat pan cut out for a connector. Going down the tube and out the bottom doesn't have enough room for the connector between the control tubes for the ailerons.
I like the idea in this thread, but maintenance would be impossible.
What have others done here? Photos would be appreciated.
