Re: After 8 years and over 1000 hrs time to finish up the control stick :)

May be related to this thread, I sometimes think about how to handle in the case of a panicking passenger or student, who in whatever situation grabbs at the control stick and gives it a dangerous input, leading to an inevitable catastrophy.
One way, I think, could be, that the passenger or student has a somewhat weaker stick, that might either break (leaving the full control to the pilot or instructor) or be biased with springs that limit the force the passenger or student can make, again, giving the pilot or instructor the control priority. Stupid idea?

For a stub tube the correct diameter. I have taken a larger diameter and cut it down and welded it back to gather at the correct diameter. Grind the weld down and slip it in place. It is just a stub tube not really structural.

Thanks Charlie
I was trying to use some leftover tube that I had laying around but did not have the size and wall thickness that would "nest" properly.? ?I made a serious mistake when I finished my build.? ?I gave almost all of my leftover tube to a friend that does a lot of race car work.? I should have kept it.

I think I have a usable piece now after using Bill's? #2 solution.? Just need to go down and fit it and drill the bolt hole.? Was going to do it today but we got about 4-6 inches of snow last night and I had just washed my truck.? Don't want to get it all full of salty slush again.? Around here they put some sort of salt solution on the roads before a snowfall.? ?I really don't like getting that stuff on my truck or car.
