I am considering putting a slight S bend in the control stick to bring it back toward me by approximately 3/4 of an inch to 1 inch. I am 5' 10" and find that the reach to the stick in cruise is slightly long, positioning my arm in a less than comfortable rest position. the stock position is not bad, but due to some age/shoulder injury issues, its just not "perfect" and over time the arm fatigues.
Could use thicker seat foam but I hate to go that route. Everything else fits perfectly and falls to hand exactly where I want it. I just dislike the forward postion of the stick, especially how close to the panel it sets.
Has anyone dones anything similar? Figured I'd get a spare stick, make the S bend and see how it felt. Main consern is to not limiting or effecting full aft travel, which, after playing around a bit, does not seem to be an issue if I keep the bend less than, or at an inch.
Any experienses or suggestions would be appreciated.
