Has anyone looked into modifying the copilot control stick to make it detachable? The requirements would be a no-tool-needed design that could be easily removed and attached in flight. The stub end, when stick is removed, should not project much if at all. No restriction in control travel. Full strength. No non-attached parts that could fall back into the sub-seat area (so if bolts or pins are needed, they would be attached to the detachable stick by a riveted wire or something.)
The difficulty seems to be that the curve is already started where a cut would be made. There would be several perhaps easier options if we were dealing with a straight section. Any ideas for using the existing stick?
