Guideman -
Consider flying it for a while with the single center stick before installing dual
sticks. You might like it.
I have flown both varieties of Mark-III, and I much prefer the single stick configuration.
The center stick falls very naturally and comfortably to hand, when
sitting in the left seat. Also, the center stick is taller, giving more leverage
and thus, less force needed to move the controls.
I've seen more than one post on this Kolb List from folks who went from single
to dual sticks, and regretted the decision. Choice of control stick configuration
is very subjective - some like it dual, others prefer center-single. But
at least give it a try first.

How far do you have to haul it? I took mine 20 miles to the airport. I
followed the instructions in the builder=99s manual for folding
and I made a tail boom stand out of an automotive jack stand. It made
it, but I would not want to go much farther than that as there was
enough movement of the wings against the bracket that it wore all the
powder coat off of the bracket. I could not tell how much material was
worn off of the aluminum spar, but it had to be at least some. For a
longer move I would want the wing tips supported to the trailer, not the
tail boom.
$50 worth of 2X4=99s, screws and carpet scraps could save a lot of
damage.
In short, I think the wing fold brackets are find for sitting or moving
in and out of storage, but are not good for long travels, especially on
an open trailer.
Search the archives, you will find much discussion and several pictures
of how this has been accomplished by others.
I have a few photos of the firefly folded, but will have to look to see
if there are any of it loaded on the trailer.
