The correct length is definitely nothing to do with personal preference. The control
surface hinge moments are derived directly from the length of joystick.
Any increase in length increases those hinge moments and corresponding forces
in the system when using the standard checked control loads.
In normal flight the control forces will also be affected by the length.
An increase beyond the standard length would most likely require a modification
to be approved under UK LAA rules. Those aircraft subject to FAA Experimental
regime can in theory do what they like.
In practical terms there is little scope to significantly increase or reduce the
joystick length. I dont know what the correct length is, the subject of some
weekend homework (again).

The length of the control stick is determined by it's clearance OF THE PANEL
WHEN IN MAXIMUM DIVE POSITION AND THAT MEANS THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO BE ABLE
TO SLAM YOUR KNUCKLES INTO THE PANEL and switches RESTRICTING THE FULL
MOVEMENT !

Subject: Europa-List: Control stick tube height
Dear forum members,
My control sticks seems to have modified at their end to fit Infinity grips
(which I am not going to use) and I need to check whether they were cut down
to make them shorter or not.
I measured 19 inches from the floor to the top of the stick tube when the
stick was about vertical.
Is this correct or if not how much was the stick cut down?
Regards,
Chris

Peter, as per the reply made on the Facebook Europa Owners Group 9for wider interest):
I bought the red set from Europa aircraft and one of them blew under pressure (static
max RPM testing on the ground whilst setting up full fine pitch) - and
after not many hours - so i wasn't very impressed.
The reinforcement in those hoses ran along their length and circumferrentially
- Rotax hoses have that reinforcement running helically along the length of their
hoses. So that's worth checking on the blue ones if you get them.
