Anyone made the copilot control stick removable?  My wife enjoys the stick being pulled for long cross countries in the -7.

There was a thread like this I believe over on VansAirForce some time ago.  I am thinking about it but have not come to any conclusion yet nor has it come to the time when any decision must be made.  From the thread I noted and stored one thing that might be able to be used.  It is from McMaster.com (McMaster-Carr) and is called a 'Telescoping Tubing Quick-Release Button connector'.  The part numbers of note are 92988a650 and 92988a730.  Not sure if they would work but it is floating around in the mush between my ears.

To take ours out we just unbolt it using the per-plans hardware.  As you

move the stick full forward the bolt kind of presents itself.  It seems like

a bad job but it only takes a few minutes.  A pip pin would make it even

easier but it wouldn't be as tight. We used an Amp plug in the panel

adjacent to the stick for wiring.

I think that Dave's "pip pin" is the same thing as a "ball pin". Perhaps it's a brand issue like pop-rivets vs. blind rivets....

Think it's a military or aircraft thing for "push-in-pull"
