Hey all- Gonna go with the button spring clip for a quick disconnect on the co-pilot stick.
Looks to me like positioning the hole at 12:00 gives the most access thru the stick boot cutout to push the button when you want to remove the stick, but the Vans service letter has you drill the hole for a bolt at 3:00-9:00, so presumably they like that positioning better, for whatever reason.
For those of you who've gone this route, how did you clock the hole for easiest access to get your finger on the button? If you did 3:00 - 9:00 did you regret it, or is it eezee peezee?
FYI- not planning a push to talk or any of that other claptrap on the co-pitot stick, so this is strictly a question of ease of removal.
