I ran mine inside also. There is no reason not to, and it looks better. You will
have to drill a hole at the top of the stick where the vertical attaches to
the main part of the stick. You don't need a large hole. I covered the wires
with anti chafe skin and left enough slack at the bottom where it exits, to
pull the grip up off the stick very easily if they need servicing. The downside
is removing the stick requires disconnecting the wires. To aid in making
this a bit easier, I used a barrier block with screw terminals. If you put a
connector on the end of the wires, you will not be able to pull them all the way
back out.

Here is a solution for running inside the stick. We welded a doubler on the
stick receiver since we slotted it. This allows complete removal of the
stick with the wiring/CPC connector. Infinity grips used.

I'm at the stage of wiring my stick grips and wondering what sage advice
there is on running the wires inside the stick or outside. I'm leaning
inside, but love to hear some feedback.
Thanks in advance.

Inside. In fact even if I had a stick boot (which I never will) I would run them
inside. With the Infinity wire bundle there are a LOT of wires. I think we ended
up using a common ground so we were able to remove more than a third of the
wires leaving extras in case I wanted to expand in the future. This made it
a lot easier to fish through the stick. On the tail end we used a D Shell style
connector in the rare event we would have to remove the stick. We did the same
set up on all the 2 place RV's as we often removed the Co-pilots stick for
various reasons.
One note on grip buttons. If I were to do it over again with all the modern tech
and push button items in our cockpit I would now dedicate one button to an OK
or Accept button. We get the most random notifications on these glass displays
that simply request acknowledgement. It would be nice the flick a pinky to
confirm the notification.
One note on the grips themselves. I see so many installs that have the grip facing
straight forward. I strongly suggest you sit in your seat properly located
forward & aft to see what angle your stick hand lands on the stick. Put the grip
in our hand un-mounted or over the stick to see what feels best. Close your
eyes and drop your hand into position. Do it several times. You will notice
the ideal orientation has significant rotation from directly forward. Mine was
about a 40 Degree rotation. No way would straight forward be comfortable for
long hand flying. Even worse on takeoff when you often have to flick the trim
several times, flip the Flaps Up toggle and push the flip/flop not having the
correct & natural orientation on the grip makes for something less than ideal
button orientation as well as a less natural placement in your hand. Just something
to consider.

My plane is definitely function first, beauty last. I ran the wires, in a protective
covering, on the outside.
Adding to Robin's comment, one nice feature of the Tosten grip is that the hold
down screw rides in a groove. With it snug but not tight the grip rotates naturally
with your hand, as you move the stick.

Thanks for the replies.
I went for the inside option tied to a bus terminal on mounted on the gear tree.
I ran enough slack to just clip off ring terminals and re-crimp several times
if I ever have to remove.
My stick grips are unique. To have a little of the day job flavor, I used a battle
worn salvage Boeing 737 yoke. I cut off the uprights to make them my stick
grips. My trim, A/P disco, and PTT will all be original Boeing on the left
grip. To attach the grips to the sticks I hillbilly engineered an interface
from a stack of the scrap spar spacers.

Well, this morning, as I pull my Mooney out of hangar for a breakfast run,
I see Doug Petersen launch in his RV-10. I fly to Glendale for breakfast
and meet Dave McNeil there with his RV-10. I fly back to Chandler, put
Mooney away, go to terminal and there is Doug Petersen, just back from his
breakfast run to Payson. So I go back to RV-10 hangar and try to be
productive moving along my RV-10 project.
In the 90-90 phase.
