I am replacing my current stick with the one pictured below. I would like to make the red button autopilot disconnect and also smoke on.
How i plan on doing it is have an A/B switch on my right side panel set of switches to denote A side cruise and B side acro.
When switch is in cruise the red button on stick works as autopilot disconnect. When switch is in acro the red button turns on smoke.
My thought is that i will not need the autopilot disconnect any time im doing acro so why not repurpose the button during acro.
Has anyone done this before? Does anyone see any potential pitfalls/issues with this setup?
Newbie to all this so trying to think outside the box.
My grip is the tosten military grip.
Thanks for the input and advice.
