Speak for yourself. New 21st Century fighters (F-16, F-22, F-35, etc) all have side sticks!
I pondered this also and is certainly doable but you would have to have access to some good machining tools and a lot of time. In the end, it would be nice but probably not worth the effort -kind of like that lone retractable RV.

I want a sidestick too
I can not stop thinking about starting a RV-10 in the near future, but one thing I want to modify is to have a sidestick and a table like airbus

............and thats where you would want the similarities to stop 
What is the difference between an experienced Airbus pilot and a new one?
Newbie pilot: What the f### is it doing that for?
Exp pilot: WTF ....It is doing it AGAIN!
hehehehhe
Just as Qantas of late........

...with a good autopilot, you seldom touch the stick  Ask me how I know.
I'd like to remove the right side stick and just looking at it, it doesn't seem to be a problem. Have any of you -10 drivers removed the right side stick?
Best,

Pierre,
It's just one bolt on the bottom of the stick. Then it slides out.
Hopefully they put disconnect wires in for any push-buttons when they built it. Otherwise you may get to do that.
