Thanks for your answers.
I just ordered the adapter from ACS, and now I confirmed that I should cut
the tube in order to avoid the grip to hit the panel, that was what I
expected.
Thanks
Carlos

Subject: Re: RV10-List: Stick grip
I think you will find that you should not take off the last 1-1.5" of the
vertical part of the stick, so there is something to support the grip. The
other aspect is that you need to make an elevator stop in the tail section
to limit nose down elevator travel to Van's minimum of around 20 degrees.
They allow a tolerance to 25 degrees, but that will have the stick grip
hitting the panel no matter how short you make it. Other choice is to have
the stick curved section bent to a smaller radius, but you are talking about
bending heat treated chrome moly tubing with powder coating on it, so lots
of ways to screw that up.

Guys
Those of you who used the Infinity (military type) stick grip, do you
remember how much tube did you cut to shorten your stick?
And what did you use to adapt the stick grip internal diameter (1") to the
stick tube outside diameter (7/8")?

This is part of the test flight regime. I know one would not be in this situation
in normal operations however, I still believe that the test flight program
is exactly built to understand the aircraft behavior within the design envelope.

I've seen this in my plane and a customer's -10. He described it to me
first. He's a very careful and conscientious pilot. Also lots of acro and
formation.
We did this straight-and-level at moderate IAS. It's a little surprising at
first but so far it's been completely manageable. If you expect it, it's a
non-event. Just opposite rudder and it unsticks. I haven't tried it in a
climb.
