This is the mod I did to my passenger stick. Do not fly without having the stick attached someway. I had forgotten to attach my passenger stick and while letting the passenge r perform some stalls, the stick came out. Good thing I was following along with my hand on my stick. You should have seen the look on his face when the stick came out. Priceless John L.

There's a small connector on the cable from the stick grip, so the thing is pretty easily removable. My problem is that it wobbles slightly. I tried putting a little scotch tape on it to fill the gap, but 1 layer of scotch tape on the tube is too much. So it must be just a few thousandths undersize. Still it's easy to feel. Even when the pilot stick is moved I c an feel the passenger stick rattling around. Does any one have any suggestions for securing this?

Did you attach it to the spar itself? So, the fire ext. mount would have to be removed to take out the wing? (Not an criticism, just trying to understand how you mounted it).

That made me chuckle. When Charlie T. (now lives in Casper if you didn't know) first flew with me, I let him fly it with a "loose stick" and we hit a bit of turbulence. The stick came out. The look on his face was hilarious! I left my stick loose because there were too many times landing when I needed to get some extra aileron and the passenger's leg was in the way. My normal procedure on final was to pull it out and hand it to the passenger. That always got some funny looks. The downside to a loose stick is you really hit some turbulence. I was flying west of my house and hit the worst turbulence I'd ever hit in 25 years of flying. The stick flew out and hit the canopy. That could have been bad.
