I'd like to add one thing to this conversation that no one seems to have metioned in the past.
IF (and this does not apply to many of you) you plan on using a SEAT BACK type parachute for any of your RV adventures, you will want to think long and hard before you bend that sticks. Most of the seat back types are about 2.5 to 3.5 inches thick and will most likely cause you issues if you move the stick aft using a bend or cut and weld.
I am using a grip out of an F-4 phantom (yeah, I know, Infinity is lighter but who gives a #$%^ and besides, it only cost me $60) and with the standard stick, all I had to do was cut the stick to allow the top of the cooly hat to clear the bottom of the panel, and make a shim for the I.D. of stick to grip. I did not bend the stick. The end result was that with seat cushion out of plane and parachute in, the grip falls right to hand in a very comfortable position. In otherwords, its no longer too far away. Not that it ever really was in level flight. I am only 5' 10" @ 200. So about average height and arm length
I've not seen this mentioned before as most folks are using the birds for X-country most of the time. But if chutes are in your future, you will want to consider this because a bent stick might mean your belly and chute will not allow full aft travel.
One other note, you will definitely need to bend the passenger stick if you are using a curved grip in the back. I'd recommend bending it just enough to clear the pilot seat back, as in maybe a 1/16th clearance, otherwise you again cut into available space for fat passengers or parachute use. I used carboard templates to get the bend right and used the bare minimum bend to clear. Using a simple P-80 grip in the back but its about the same curvature as the Infinity.
