Anybody know a good source to have the control stick bent back a few inches? I've seen this in some RV's, and looks like the route I want to take.

Thanks,

Hwood

Just a suggestion (from someone who's yet to drive a single rivet)...how about a muffler shop with a mandrel bender?

I had Todd Rudberg bend my RV8 stick for me. You can go to the following site and see what he can do for you.

I recommend him....for the price, you can't beat it, since it is nearly impossible to do it with out the proper equipment.

A control stick is something you don't want to worry about.
 
Another builder and I had one drop shipped to Todd directly from Van's. I'll let you know how it turns out when I get it.
 
Just a word of warning; putting any significant bend in your control stick can affect the flying qualities in pitch. You may like to compare a bent and straight stick once you are flying.
