I now have 7 wonderful hours in my 6A, and find myself generally quite comfortable in it despite my 6'4" frame. There is, however, one exception: I have very long arms/forearms and find that when the stick is back and the nose up (on approach, basically), my elbow jams against the side panel and limits my ability to quickly and smoothly apply left aileron as I encounter gusts. My current grip is a MAC/Ray Allen model with 2 axis trim, ptt, and autopilot disconnect. The Ray Allen is, of course, a "straight" grip without and forward or backward tilt, etc.
I have 2 questions: 1st, has anyone else with monkey arms like mine tried using one of the angled grips like the Infinity or Tosten? These appear like they would provide a bit more elbow room by moving the grip point forward a bit, and it also appears that this effect can be magnified some by rotating the grip as well.
2nd question: How difficult would it be to convert from the Ray Allen to one of the other grips in terms of rewiring?
Thanks in advance, and I'm certainly open to other suggestions or ideas as well
